Dealership & Tuned Question

I have the GST tune in my car....
My radio went out and needed to be replaced. That has been replaced by the dealer, but now my center console lights (radio and a/c) aren't working when the lights are on.
So they may have to do some more digging.
Do I need to flashback to the original? Or do yall think that wouldn't be touched?

I'd think that an Engine map doesn't really affect a semingly electronic/fuse/wiring related problem. I wouldn't worry about it but that's just my opinion.

The dealership isn't going to check your ECU troubleshooting an electrical issue. I wouldn't worry about it.

Why not just flash it back and then you don't have to worry about it anyways. It shouldn't take too long to reflash to stock and then flash back after the dealership is done. just my two cents.

I agree with ltn. It's a simple task (even with removing boost pill)... better safe than sorry. All it takes is on snoopy tech and your screwed.

I would flash it back to stock if that's the main dealership you deal with. I wouldn't want them to flag me for anything.
