Prelude dash lighting problem
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by bafflednub »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Ok, so I'm trying to fix these electrical quirks in my car (4th gen 93 prelude). I recently managed to get my fuel and temperature lights to come on all the way when I turn on my headlights. Before, they'd be very dim and would fade out the closer they got to full. I fixed this by messing around with the wires that go to my cigarette lighter port and the LED that goes inside the ash tray. I figured the black wire in this bunch goes to the ground on the lighter, the blue/white goes to the prong above it. The port works too. Not too sure what the two red wires go too. I had them plugged into the forked prong, but that made my fuel lights do the dim thing when the headlights weren't even turn on. Not perfect, but its a step closer to being solved.
So now theres the question with the instrument lights. These don't come on. At all. The climate control buttons' symbols are suppost to light up. I got these to come on one night when screwing with the same wires mentioned above; but also managed to blow out my clock/radio & interior lighting fuse.
So any ideas as to what the problem could be? I noticed an unconnected black wire that comes from an area that the cruise control & sunroof controls are; I'm guessing that this is from the dimmer and may be keeping them from coming on.
Or is it possible that the bulbs behind my dash are burnt out?
Any comments are appreciated, I'm really trying to get my lude working and looking better. Thanks
And one more thing: theres a blue wire coming from my ignition (the place I put the keys to turn it on). Any idea what this thing is?

found this in search.... Bafflednub posted this back in janurary and never got a reply.
Having the same problem, checked fuses and bulbs everything seems fine. But when I turn on headlights cluster lights dim and gauge lights don't even attempt to come on.
Hoping that some one will post an answer this time around
