Dimmer will not dim
My lights on the inside do not dim. They turn on with the headlights but dont dim.
ive bought 3 used dimmers and nothing. anyway to check what is wrong? or what the problem is? |
what lights? do you have LEDs or the stock lights in the dash and gauge cluster?
|
All stock except for the three VDO gauges which are LED but nothing is dimming. Cluster HVAC, or radio |
get a multimeter and start poking through the wiring. first thing to check would be if the dimmers are functioning properly and then just follow wires from there
|
What radio are you using? How is it wired?
While wiring up mine, I saw a black wire in the audio harness ( it was illum -) and I connected that to ground. Ever since my interior lights were stuck at full brightness and dimmer wouldnt work. The moment I disconnected that and gave a separate ground, everything was back to normal. This probably is a wiring issue, do give all the illum related wires a thorough going over. |

Thanks for the info. your right, might be a grounding issue. Ill have to go through it again its just odd that a false ground in the radio or gauges would affect the dimmer on all dash/HVAC lights i had the exact set up installed in my previous evo exactly the same and no prob. I just transfered it all to this new to me evo which per the previous owner was working. |
