Power Short...

Hey guys i recently added a new pioneer deck w/ ipod connector to my 2003 liberty. The guys at Best Buy installed it for me. After two days of no problems, I tried to start my car and it was dead. I am able to jump my car but the dash lights will flash and and the abs and brake light come on while it is running. When it's turned off it is unable to start again without being jumped. Did Best Buy mess something up with my electronics. What could be causing this? Should i I go to best buy costumer service. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't really see how the CD installation would have anything to do w/ the car not starting. Those things are usually grounded and if anything would blow a fuse before doing anything else. I would check your battery connection and possibly your battery. Best Buy could have wired the power wire wrong, and the CD player could be pulling power even when the car is off, possibly draining your battery?

They could of wired it so that the cd player is on all the time and doesnt shut off with the key. That means its pulling a load when the Jeep is off.
