Default dash lights gone :(

hey guys

my friend has a 99 accord, after installing his headunit, all of his dashlights (climate control + cluster) are gone.

i suggested that he check the fuses, and they all turned out fine... i dont know what else it could be?

any ideas guys?

thanks

After I installed my headunit, I lost the bulb on the clock.

He may have left a connector unplugged or blown a bulb while changing it all out, otherwise it's a fuse...

Disconnect the illumination wire (orange wire) on the head-unit harness. This can cause problems like what you are having....and double check your fuses again.

he doesnt remember any orange wires, but there were two red ones that didnt connect to anything in the headunit...
