If you wired anything to the dimmer switch undo it.

Did you use an adapter harness? Check and see if any of your fuses are blown. If u didnt use an adapter harness. Does your cigarette lighter work?

Then you blew a fuse. Check them. All. Even the underhood ones. I also didn't ask if you used the orange wire. I asked if you wired up anything to the car's dimmer switch. Did you cut and splice wires or did you use a proper harness?

All I did was swap decks..gonna take it out in a bit and check all the fuses again...I didnt hook anything up to the dimmer switch..

the dimmer switch if not hooked up and shorts to ground it blows the fuse for the dash lights and parking lights. Sorry cant remember the number but it is in the under dash fuse block. I always cut and crimp a barrel connector to any unsued wires it to keep them from shorting out.

Just checked all the fuses and they're good...changed a 7.5 under the hood that says "back up"..that fixed the problem wit the deck not remembering itself....still no instrument light...can't see how fast or slow I'm goin in the dark...

And now the light wants to go on and off..where's the short? Lol

Is. There. An. Aftermarket. Wiring. Harness. Or. Are. The. Wires. Hacked. Up?

No one is going to be able to help you with this. The wiring has to be painstakingly traced and examined for shorts.

Gogetta05

Yes there's a harness...only thing spliced is the wires that are color coded

What? An aftermarket harness? I'm not talking about the car harness. Pics please.

I don't think you've checked all the fuses. This shouldn't have happened if all you did was swap decks. I've done it at least half a dozen times.

Yea one from Walmart u connect to the stock harness for an aftermarket deck then match the wires with the appropriate colors and securely connect and protect

I have checked all the fuses..all the ones under the dash and under the Hood..
