Problem With Driver side door after radio install

Hello,
I replaced the factory radio with a store bought. A harness was used for it, but for some reason I just couldn't get power so I wired a standalone wire to the fuse box and ever sense then the light ring around the key hole doesn't work anymore. I also would like to mention before the new radio was installed when I would open the driver side door and close it I would hear an electronic click in the door which I'm assuming was some type of a lock reset on the door. So after the install I don't hear that reset anymore and when I go to open the door it would start to open then jam. I been trying to find a wire diagram, but I have had no success in finding one. The GM dealer by my house said if it was a 94 I could get you one lol what an ass! Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

Theftlock would not cause the symptoms that are indicated by Rick1980. All Theftlock does is disable the stereo unit if power is cut from it.
As for your problem, I would suggest checking fuses first. It sounds like there might be a problem if you find a blown fuse, replace it and if it blows again there might be a short in your wiring harness. Also you could have caused damage to wires while installing the stereo, I would check to see if there is a wire harness behind the stereo that has possibly been damaged.
