I just replaced my head unit, and now none of the lights on my dash are working, like the lights in the gauges and the lights on the climate controls. I took it apart and made sure everything was all hooked up, but still no luck. I dunno what could be the problem, and I dont see why the lights in the gauges should be affected by some wiring by the climate controls? If anyone has any advice or wiring diagrams so I can figure what the hell Im doin wrong Id appreciate it.

 

Well check the fuse . And umm Yeah I think but im not 100% sure there is one wire that controlls the instrument lights on your dash . Hope everything gets better !

 

I would check for a wire on the radio harness coming from the car, there should be one wire (don't know off hand, but check installdr.com) that is part of the illumination that controls the stock radio lights, you may have grounded or wired that one incorrectly. First check that, then try the dimmer switch. That is exactly what happened to me.

HIH.

 

Yeah thats what I ment to say ! A wire in your radio deck that makes the instrument lights work ! My bad !

 

wtf?

 

Way to bring back a nearly 2yr old thread just to put that. :goodjob:
