It sounds like when they fitted the radio to the permanent live feed they broke wire, pulled a connector of or blow the fuse. All the items are on the same circuit. Bet the clock don't work.

Halfords fitted a stereo to my S3 when I had it. It came back with no interior light or clock - that was a fuse and no indicators or horn. This turned out to be caused by the column stalk being shorted out during their playing around with the wiring. Should have fitted it myself.
