Gauges/dimmer/lighter lights, Look here Options

Dont work

Ok i got this car and it was already like this.

I searched and searched,but this problem is totaly different than others.

I checked the wiring and found that the dimer wires have been altered.In pic the red wire connects to the green for some reason.

But here is a freakin trip.....when i put a fuse in the top left corner of the kick panel (7.5) the radio light(stock) turns off when i turn on the head lights(opposite of what supposed to happen, right?) And when i turn off the car and shut the door the radio light , and the ring around the keyhole stay lit.

Where could this problem be? I'm sure its hooked up backwards somewhere, but where could it be?

I checked behind the radio and all the wires are fine,no cuts or extra wires.When i looked down at the AC AMP i couldnt see far enough.

The dimmer gets power fine(2 positive/1 negative)not sure how to test the dimmer itself.

Could the dimmer be hooked up backwards? But its only one wire that doesnt match out of three.



Please help people ,i was trying the whole week to figure this out,and you are my last hope.

The radio light should not shut off all of the way but when you turn you lights on it should get dimmer so it isent too bright at night.

Right but its opposite.When i turn the lights on,the radio lights turn off completely, like in a day time without lights at all.

I know that the 94-95 dimmer switch is different than the 96+, someone might of replaced yours with an earlier model one and made it work..ish.

Maybe i should try to get a 96 one?But its a good point,i would have never guessed it
