help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by MarkMoore »

all the sudden, a bunch of lighting won't work in my car... dont know if this has anything to do w/ it, but i recently installed my indiglo gauges, and they work great... short after that, my hvac panel wouldn't light up any more... after that a bunch of other things won't light up any more: my dome light when door is open, the original gauge cluster backlighting (it illuminates the odometer cuz my indiglo's of course can't do that), and all the gear's won't light up any more (ie 'P' 'R' 'N' 'D'...) what's up here?

maybe this sounds dub..but you have a dimmer switch in the dash..it's to the left at the height of the steering..my guess is you actually turn the lights off with the dimmer

half-azzed wiring job is what it sounds like to me.

never use electrical tape, use crimp connectors or solder if you want the wiring to last.

Only use wireing tape over top of the aforementioned to sheild it from touching metal.
