Car Forum / Isuzu Cars / December 2006dash light problem
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. >I have a '94 isuzu rodeo. After installing an aftermarket stereo - the > dash lights no longer work.

Sorry I can't offer much more advice than to look for loose connections behind the dash and/or loose ground wires. > 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 [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >> > >> > Any help is appreciated. thanks for the response! i appreciate the help. i will take a closer look and check connections. thanks again. > Sorry I can't offer much more advice than to look for loose connections > behind the dash and/or loose ground wires.

SignaturePosted at author's request, using fully moderated http://www.AutoBoardz.com/Isuzu-forum-5.html interface 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 "ksfisk" wrote > I have a '94 isuzu rodeo.
