Just had the passenger side window motor replaced in my 86. Got it back from the shop and the AC / heat controls don't work, the numbers are not lit up and the push-buttons won't stay in. Also, the stereo won't make noise, even static. Kind of tired of this mechanic, don't really want to take it back. Any ideas on what might be the problem?

Re: Heat / AC control panel / stereo (TKH)
Fuse - forget which one, but its one of the 20 amp ones (at least on my 88)
How do I know - Left a pen with a metal clip in the cupholder area with the cigarette lighter out. Pen rolls into lighter hole and shorts out fuse. Radio, heater controls, interior lights all went out. Replaced burned out fuse - all works again.
Tried fuses first, they all test fine. The interior lights and the stereo display work, just no noise. I can change channels, set the clock, everything but listen to music! Or run the AC!
