94 del sol, just installed a pioneer deck, and my guage cluster lights stopped workin, and my climate control lights too. i checked all my fuses, went through the manual, but it still doesnt work. took my guage cluster off and did a whole bunch of research but all i found was a ground wire, but its not certain.

my rpms, gas, coolant temp all work, and headlights, cornerlights all work. just my guage cluster LIGHTHING and climate control LIGHTING (suppose to make it so you can see at night).

any help would be appreciated ALOT. thanks for the consideration. and HAPPY NEW YEARS!

the lights probably burned out somehow maybe u had a wire touch metal caused it to burn out......pull out ur cluster and pull out a few bulbs c if they are burnt out

 

ebrake light, srs light, trunk and door indicator light, check engine light, all that work, checked the bulbs already none are burnt out. it just doesnt light up and i cant see at night.

thanks for the input

 

mine does the same and i hit the dash board and it comes back on... ive never taken it out o heck what is wrong yet ive been busy.

 

same here, it happens when i have my deck in but when i dont it's fine. i also hit it with my hand and it's fine afterwards. i dont know, a real diagnositic would be awesome

 

update, just found out my tails dont work either. brake lights work, just not tails.

anyone? someones gotta know whats going on here.

 

theres a ground wire where u put in ur radio, i cant remember the color ill edit when i get back from work. but anyways if that ground wire is disconected u will have those problems just reinstall the radio and test the wires when its out

 

thanks im gonna take a look at that

bump

 

if its a ground wire should be a black wire

 

my ground wire is perfectly mended to the harness. should it be connected to the body instead or something?

 

bump for you. We basically have the same problem.

 

this is easy. your dimmer wire off of your factory harness is grounding out somewhere. if you're using a new harness, make sure the dimmer wire isnt touching any metal. after you get that wire all covered up with electic tape or what not, replace the dimmer fuse and voila, you're back on the road.
