hi,

installed a new JVC HU and now the cluster lights do not work. all i can think of is the light bulbs burnt out or something. the climate control lights are out too. there are no exposed wires touching anything. i'm confused!
this is in my friends 06 ralliart. i've installed a bunch of systems and i've never seen this happen before. maybe someone on here had the same problem. was hoping someone might be able to help.

thanks

 

Seriously, you think ALL the bulbs would burn out spontaneously like that, or that it *might* have something to do with the HU you just put in?

You probably grounded the illumination wire or dimmer wire, or something like that. Did you use an adapter harness, or cut and splice wires?

 

grounded the black wire. yes i used an adapter harness. i'm probably just too stupid to do anything anymore. i'm never installing systems again, thats for sure.
i checked all the fuses. everything is fine.

 

Unplug the adapter harness from the car wiring, and see if the dash lights start working again.

 

well i had that problem yesterday my cousin cut a ground cable of the radio and all the lights go off we check the fuses(fusible) of the car and one was broken just check all the fuses and change it. my english is awfull

 

it was a fuse. i told my friend to check all the fuses. and he finally did. lights work now!
thank you for the help guys.

 

only 1 of my lights went out after I installed a new cd player, is it just my luck that only 1 bulb would go out, or did I F something up?

 

after a alarm install my dash lights wont work when you turn the parklights and headlights on. but with them turned off, the dash lights work. i also have 2 gauges on the a-pillar that WILL work with the headlights turned on. ckecked all fuses, and no wires were cut. any ideas?
