Is there any light on the cluster? What about the AC controls?

If there is no dash light aside from the radio then check the dimmer.

Got no AC, when i short dimmer harness green/black and black wires together manually i see no light coming up anywhere.



EDIT: it works, forgot that i need to turn on headlights (night mode) in order to have dimmer activated, my old car switch was on the dimmer itself i think... sucks to have no manual, but i got the most of it.
