guage illumination and heating/cooling knob lights don't work
 

im using a kenwood headunit and i have 4 extra wires coming from it. and 3 wires coming from my wiring harness. 2 orange ones 1 is for illumination and other for dimmer the 3rd one is for power antenna which i dont need. from the kenwood HU is 2 blue ones 1 with stripe 1 w/o and a black and brown one. My problem is that once i hook it up none of my guages OR heating/cooling panel lights work. when i put in manufacture uh from mitsu they work fine. anyone have this problem and how do i fix it?

i just installed a flip out dvd headunit into my car today and it did the same thing, all i did was take the headunit back out and cut all the wires not used and rap them in electrical tape so they dont touch eachother when you put the headunit back in and made sure there are no pinched wires and i had to replace two fuses inside the fusebox under the hood and it is fine now, dont know if that helped or not

I had that problem.
If nothing can be done, Im wondering if you can run a wire from another light source and join it to the correct wire in the guage bezzle/HVAC, so that they always light up..

Anyone know?
