maybe your speedometer just took a shit on you..

i don't see how the radio harness would affect the meter..

did you splice the stock harness off when you initially installed the aftermarket radio then attempt to re attach it when you re installed the factory radio?

done that, and all are good. i forgot to add that the speedometer works when i turn off the radio if that helps

I think at this point it will take pix for anyone to be able to help you. Sometimes a description isn't quite enough.
