okay im having a problem with my dash lights..i have a 7 inch flip out screen custom mounted in my integra but used all the normal wiring to wire in a aftermarket deck.. the cigerette lighter is unplugged because it wont fit with the deck in.. and my dimmer switch wires are tapped off right now because i cant seem to make use of my dimmer switch at all..its not the dimmer switch because ive tried a few differnt ones..i just cant get the dash lights to come on when the lights are on..ive tried just about everything is there anyway to power my dash lights without the dimmer switch???

 

anyone??

 

you sure you didnt blow a fuse to your dash lights?

 

yea all the fuses are fine im been tryin to figure it out for months now..it just sucks having no dash lights at nihgt how could i wire them up so no dimmer switch is needed.or could someone help me out...it is beacuse i have a bad ground??they come on but once i switch the lights on they go off.and i can turn my radio on and off with my light switch ..ugh

 

so it works without the aftermarket radio hooked up?, look under your hood. is your 7.5 fuse blown? also you dont need the dimmer wire hooked up for lighting, maybe not even the illumination one depending on your radio.. mine doesnt use either..

 

no it works wit the aftermarket radio plugged in just not when i turn my lights on they go off

 

any ideas?

I had a similar problem in my integra when installing a deck but mine was just blown fuses.

 

check that u have the right wire, and check ur 7.5 fuse under ur hood

 

you need to jump wires on the dimmer switch harness. (Which ones, I forget, use a multimeter to figure it out) OR just plug in the dimmer switch and throw it behind the dash.
