Did you disconnect the battery when you installed the headunit? Have you checked for blown fuses? Did you check if you broke any wires behind the headunit?

Buy head unit I assume you mean a stereo. Sounds like you messed up some of the wires. You need to disconnect it an start over.

I just did mine this past winter , I had to remove the center console ,the shift console and the rear console . I assume you had to do the same? Lots of wires disconnected while doing this. You may have pinched a wire somewhere. How does the car charge while running? Normal or is it showing a discharge . Is your battery going down or dies in a few days? It would be best to redo the wireing as suggested, better to catch it now rather down the road maybe having a short and a fire in your dash.

Get a multi-meter and start taking some readings and find that short. Good luck
