Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster here, let me just start by saying you all are great.

I've got a ST205, and she's my baby. I've been doing a lot of interior lighting modifications, footwell tubes, LED dash, LEDs behind my vents, etc, and everything has been great until recently.

All of the sudden, I turned on my car the other week and realized that I did not have a working radio, clock, overhead light, nor the courtesy lights on the doors nor the trunk light. Everything else was working fine, all the extra lights I put in were working fine, the cigarette lighter was working fine, headlights, taillights, gauges, etc.

I replaced several of the fuses that could have been the culprit, nothing was blown, but I still had no luck. I replaced the dimmer switch (which from what I read online and saw in the wiring diagrams could have been culpable), still no luck

Can any of you guys help me out here? I checked out the wiring diagrams in my two manuals for the car and I cannot seem to trace out the problem that would isolate just those problems while leaving everything else, namely the cigg lighter really.


Thanks in advance!

Lol, reminded me of a game I used to play way back when..... Anyways I think the lighter is on a different fuse from the interior lamp circuit, but same as the radio. It's very possible you knocked a ground loose while doing all of the other wiring. Also, unless you are the 1st owner of the car, make sure someone didn't swap some wires around on you previously.
