I have a 2011 Panel and just had the original radio changed to a 2 DIN Kenwood. On my 1st drive after the install I found out I had no power steering, no wipers, no A/C, the dash says to service the air bag system and my OBDII has the code P065 malfunction indicator lamp control circuit.
I know a bunch of wiring got pulled past the interior fuse panel in the center consol.
Does anyone have any idea what might have happened to my beloved HHR or how I go about fixing whatever it was that happened?

 

Who ever dis the job didn't bother to read the directions and/or decided to save a buck and not get the adapter. Only the person that did the job knows what they did wrong.
With the correct adapter it is just a matter of plugging things in.

 

The connections at the BCM might be loose the fuses and relays need to be pushed firmly into place!

 

I’m wondering why you’re asking here and not asking at the place that did the install ?
Seems to me like they fouled it up. They should be responsible for repairs.

 

I'm a guy trying to make it on a disability income. I couldn't justify paying for a professional install for intertainment over bills and groceries although now I wish my gas was shut off and I had only Ramen noodles and hot dogs for dinner.
My brother and his recently paroled buddy did the installation and said my car was already f**ked up.
Then they left.
And left me hanging.
I've been looking for what could have happened for over a week and found this forum. I'm hoping someone here might have knowledge or prior experience to help me through my dilemma.
I hope something common to those circuits got unplugged while routing wires or shorted but not fried.
I'm looking for wiring diagrams now.

 

Here’s a link to diagrams

Careful to note which radio system your HHR has, with or without the subwoofer?

I don't have any idea what the clown show might have done. It should be a simple match the colors thing. No pulling of wires needed.
If you are strapped for cash why replace the radio? The usual problem with radios is bad speakers.

 

Yes, Crutchfield has great information

I was having it changed to a Kenwood that was gifted to me 2+ years ago. I've been holding it until I got the right vehicle. The person I got it from expected me to put it in my '58 Chevy pick-up which has no sound system. I'm not about to cut the dashboard in my truck. But, yeah, so far it hasn't cost me anything. It's all equipment I had it in my shop.

 

Aside from connecting the speakers; you would need a source of constant 12 volts (in the factory harness), a source for switched 12 volts (any of the unused positions on the BCM), the pink wire goes to the antenna amplifier, and the antenna. And ground in the factory harness. No chimes.
There should be no need to pull any wires anywhere.

If you had the GMLAN adapter it would be easy and would retain the chimes.
