Hey guys I'm a bit at a loss. I have rewired my car stereo loom for an alpine head unit (which works a treat I might add) but now I've discovered that all my interior dials have no lights when I turn on the head lights. Argh. I thought it might be a simple fuse I had blown but i have looked at the fuse layout and checked a number of them with no luck. Surely there isnt a wire in the stereo wiring loom that feeds back to the instrument lighting???

Please help its very very annoying.

Most likely fuse mate check if your tail lights are going too cant remember where exact fuse is if from engine bay or cabin?

I might just go and buy a pack of fuses and start replacing them all. Seems that some of them are incorrectly matched anyway.

Yeah mine was like that when I bought it its a good idea

found it. and you were right it was the rear tail lights fuse.. now the problem is its still blowing . so now i gotta pull out the wiring i changed and work out what I've done wrong.

Damn it.

Bugger it must be earthing itself out somewhere maybe your earth wire from stereo is acutaly connected into the negative of the lights circut......
Let us know how you get on

well if i undo the new wiring loom and it fixes it at least I have identified the source. If that doesnt fix it I dont know what im going to do. Drive into a tree and collect the insurance money?

HA HA thats one option
or you can wait till I arrive in adelaide when we move end of august
even though I wont have my baby till after that
But I will be more than happy to help and share some of my expertise with you guys

All sorted and yes it was an incorrectly wired ground.... your good.

Happy to help mate
