Hey Guys!

I'm new here but I'm super stoked to see what you guys are doing to your cars and to lend a helping hand whenever you may need one.

So I noticed my dome light was acting up on my 98 Civic after installing an aftermarket radio so I performed the little DIY trick I read about here:
honda-tech.com/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/diy-96-98-civic-dome-light-fix-after-installing-aftermarket-radio-2214962

After I did the trick my dome light started working as usual now! But as I was driving at night, my instrument cluster's lights decided to go out... which I think is really suspicious. Not only that, but whenever I lock the car using an alarm system the civic has had for most of its life I noticed the parking lights do not flash anymore! What's causing it to act funny?

Any input is greatly appreciated

 

A stick-up "clapper" would have been easier..lol
