If it is for the fluros or ccfls that go under the dash, then it would be the inverter, and if it's humming, them it's probably the vreg, prob a cheap chinese one.. not a lot you can do except repalce the reg.

      It's the voltage regulator, do you have a multimeter?
      you will need to check the output to the kick panels.

      Dude i would not be just hooking up random stuff if you dont know what your doing.

      Next time your down here i can take a look at it for you
      CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
