Turn signal/high beams not working after amp install

Just installed a powered sub following the integral audio install guide. Everything worked fine until my girlfriend drove the car. On her way home she said the blinkers, high beams, and some of the lights on the radio and hvac controls went out. I've tried searching out a fuse to no avail. The install guide has you tap into pin 1 (solid black wire) on the x15 connector. What exactly does that control? I cant find any other information on the connector other than the install guide. It is 2011 base model. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sorry, no advice on fixing the car, but if she is still your girlfriend after this little incident, you are good guy and she is probably a "keeper". Best of luck with your issue and with your relationship.

This thread should be in the NAV and AUDIO Section where you can find the answer to the X-15 question.

but to answer your question about the X-15 that is the Radio ON line so it turns the amp on and off with the radio.

Your problem is probably because one of the connectors you tapped into is not seated together properly and thus has loose connections in it. Or you may have disturbed another connector that the factory did not have together well

I would go back and recheck all connectors and push them back together in any area you may have opened up.
