There are some 7 cables that need to be moved and plugged in when 
installing the FM unit. You sure you had them all according to the owners

If so and no bent pins, cables not fully plugged in etc. I don't know off

though to me.
I am sure i crossed this trouble but it has been to many years ago now.
