Default FUNNY problems after NA-T

So, i get my car back and it's nice and quick (didn't get a chance to tune at full boost, but will later next week), but there are a couple of problems that also came with the car that i would like to fix myself.

1) AC doesn't work (but thanks to CleanSC and SCNAT i think this is figured out.)

2) My Horn and Hazard lights don't work and i love to honk at people so i need this. But my thought is when we pulled out part of the dash to put in my boost controller something came loose in the harness on the top left next to climate control and hazard.

3) I got my sc300 badge jacked and antenna stolen. the badge i don't care much for, but the antenna i was wondering how much it would cost to replace.

thanks for your input.

Shave it!

Looks cleaner
But if you use it, then this doesn't help.
You could always shave it and get the antenna that hooks up on the back of the rear glass like this:

1) Yep, just wire in the pull up resistor, it will work. See my thread on that for A/C options settings for the AEM and specifics.

2) Hazard and Horn is on the same fuse. Check it.

3) Antenna mast is about $40 at the Toyota dealer.

well with an exhaust very similar and damn near identical to mine and hearing the exhaust grumble, I would definitely think something is up.

EDIT: BTW, i love the black 97 look that you got with the huge sleeper mod. Freaking awesome!

I got an metra amplified hideaway antennae for $35. It plugged right into the back of the headunit and placed the antennae under the shifter plate, gets better reception than stock You'd just have to fill the hole with something.
