Default New 2005 S4, New Electrical Issues Please Help!

Ok i have a big delima! I just purchased a 2005 S4 and just recently installed my Eclipse Navigation System. The NAvi is working perfectly, but now I have an issue. My dimmer inside the car does not work, wipers and blinkers does not work either. Does anyone know where I should start troubleshooting or should I just not waste my time and bring it into the audi dealership? Does anyone know the wiring layout for the Stereo? I wouldnt think that the blinkers or windshield wipers have anythign to do with those cables... Maybe just the dimmer. Any help or suggestions would be greatly apperciated.

Hey welcome to the forum. You are asking in the wrong forum. Isn't the car under warranty??

I was right!! It was the ECM they had to replace the whole thing, and they did it all for free! Pheeeww! Ok when I install my Navi back in I will do a how-to-post so people wont mess up their systems.
