Dashboard lights not working.
Just got car back from cam install. Patient history is as follows recently had a new PCM installed. Car was sitting for a long time before all this was done. Last night radio would not work when I turned on headlights. When I turn on head lights radio clock light goes out. Right turn signal light on guage cluster does not work turn signals do. No lights at night time on speedometer or rpm gauge. Windshield wipers work but will not turn off or switch speeds.checked codes only one is for seat control module b2605h. I pulled fuse for windshield wipers. Also cd changer does not work now. Any help woukd be appreciated. I think that's everything

It can't fix everything, but make sure your dash light dimmer switch just below the left side of the HUD controls is rotated to the bright position. That could resolve at least two of your issues.

Overall, sounds like a ground issue. If turning on the headlights kills the sound from the radio in addition to the lights, you may have a ground not connected or wiring reversed.

I'm going to clean them ton. Well at least try. Dumb question do I need to jack car up to get at some of the grounds? Thanks for the replies to really appreciate it.

At home I have a great listing of all the grounds and what they serve so you can limit the ones you look at. If I forget please remind me. One of my clients has me very busy now.
For your issues all the grounds needed to be checked should not require having the car in the air.
Your turn signal indication could just be the bulb is bad.

On the wiper I suspect the wiper motor. I have seen issues similar when water has gotten in due to clogged udders. Let me know how much diagnostics you want to do.

Below the wiper motor, there are THREE drain udders. If they clog, the wiper motor floods out. You have to check the cowl drain udders.
Betweem the clutch master cyl and the fender, is a space you can reach into and find the udders. You can pop the rubber udders out and clean them.
