Car has problems after doing big 3

[ephyouckay 10+ year member]

I did the big 3 to my cousins integra but now the parking lights on the tail lights do not turn on b ut the brake lights do turn on. also his dash has no illumination and when he signals but arrows flash and both signal blinkers flash as well. when he signals his clock flashes also and so does some of his buttons like his fan lights etc that says its on...

I connected everything right ran 1/0 for the big 3 and made sure all the connections were tight. I left existing wire and just added onto the stock and sanded all my grounds. I did this to my 05 accord and it has no problems...

What went wrong? is there a fix?

It is hard for me to understand what is going on. Use some punctuation. From what I do understand it sounds like a bad ground or blown fuse.

havent heard too many problems resulting from big 3. check the fuse box under the hood and maybe under the dash as well.

Only way you did damage doing the big 3 is by bad wiring, or you touched something you weren't supposed to, OR you blew something up with reconnecting everything.

All the Big 3 does is help the electrical system work more efficient. No damage can be done when it is performed correctly.
