I have a '94 isuzu rodeo. After installing an aftermarket stereo - the
dash lights no longer work. I pulled the stereo out - (leaving nothing
plugged into wiring harness) and the dash lights still would not work.
I tried wiring the orange wire in my stereo wiring harness to the
yellow wire. the dash lights would then come on - but would go off when
the headlights were on. does that mean it's not a fuse if i can get
them to come on in that scenerio? I'm lost on how to get my dash
lights to work. i'd be happy to have them with or without the stereo
at this point.
Any help is appreciated. |

It sounds like you have an open somewhere in the circuit and by crossing the
orange and yellow wires you are creating an alternate path to ground. What
circuits use the orange and yellow wires? Did you tap into the Rodeo's
wiring harness or were you able to just plug the harness into the
aftermarket stereo? If you tapped in, check your taps. Also, check all the
connectors to the factory harness in the vicinity you were working. I
accidentally pulled a connector loose while reaching for something else
under my '98 dash.

the orange wire is a dimmer wire, which is unused by my stereo. my
understanding is that it should simply be taped off. but in my
frustration with the no dash light problem, i tried wiring it to the
yellow wire, which is the constant power wire. i didn't tap into the
wiring harness - instead used a wiring harness adapter that plugs into
the zuzu wiring harness and twists to the radio wires. i'm baffled by
the fact that when i unplug the stereo completely the dash lights still
don't work.

Sorry I can't offer much more advice than to look for loose connections
behind the dash and/or loose ground wires.

i need help!!! i have a 1999 isuzu rodeo and the factory wiring end has been cut off i then wired it directly to the cd player as a result. i have lost dash lights since then. the fuses are all fine and no wires are touching each other how would i check the fuses with the test light and there isnt any fuse under the hood that is labeleed for interior lights. is there a inline fuse that rodeo would have put in and if so would you know where? >> Stay informed about: dash light problem |
