Default no running lights or dash lights

Need some input-help
I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4 X 4, my running lights and dash lights went dead all of a sudden ? I had an aftermarket auto start installed about a year ago, this just started happening a few days ago. When I use the auto start, all the running lights & dash lights work but they do "not" work when I use the manual (key) way. All other lights work, turn, emergency, brake etc...? Can someone help me here, I checked the grounds, fuses, for any bare wires etc.. and even took off my trailer lights to see if it would fix the issue but nothing has changed. Thanks in advance, God Bless

Sounds like the auto start isn't wired properly. Take a look at all the connections and make sure everything is hooked up right, as the connection from key > auto start > ECU could be messed up

I keep hearing that about the auto start, I'll have to double check on that. I finally have all the running lights working on the truck, now I'm having crazy issues with the trailer lights lol
Wired it all in, everything worked perfect while sitting in the driveway until I drove the truck with the trailer, now the electric brake kicks in when I use the left turn signal while driving down the road ? lol
back under the truck I go and hope to figure this nightmare out ?
Oh yah, my auto start works when it wants to now. Most of the time it blows the horn like the panic button when I hit auto start ??? Piece of junk is only 1 or 2 years old? SMH

Im thinking you should just go back to the old days and not have any wiring associated with your vehicle. Also stay away from my truck! I dont need your bad luck!!
