OK, I was working on my radio ( adding XM .. which is very cool ! ) and I got that worked out just fine.. radio and the XM works great now... HOWEVER ... Somehow I lost my dash lights that illuminate the AC controls at night... ( my guages are still illuminated ) and it appears that my front right running light is also dead now...

Anyone have a clue what happened... I checked the obvious ( giant 2 plugs ) connections on the back side of the ac controls... and I looked at all my fuses under the drivers side ...

So... 2 things... If anyone can validate that the running light and inside dash lights could be linked ... that would help, and better yet, if anyone knows where the common connection is that would be awesome !

Thanks...

 

Bump

 

take it back to mitsu, warranty

 

Or, I just figured it out... Fuse # 20 under the hood was blown... and it apparently controls exactly what I mentioned above the front and rear parking lights, and the middle AC control illumination lights...

and I might add, that Mitsu sure did wire the car strange... dont think I have ever seen that setup before

 

note: whenever doing things like that, u can always blow fuses or F up relays, best deal is to D/C the battery when doing electrical things like this, this has happened to me twice.

1. i was d/c my boost gauge and 2 wires touched and sparked, my entire right side of my car wouldnt light up, well guess what, a fuse

2. this was worse, i was re-installing my downpipe and the flange tapped the starter at the wrong spot and boom, sparks flew and hit my oil return line and my car leaked out all my oil
