Just installed a new head unit and now none of my dash lights come on for speed ect and the ac nobs but blinkers, brights, and the other stuff work. I unpluged the headunit and they still wont turn on.

 

it probably got caught and unplugged something when you were putting it in. Id take it out and look around back there to see... thats the only thing i can thing of

 

Did you connect the dimmer wire to the hu's wiring? If not, then I don't see how the lighting went out.

 

If you mean the illumination slots (-) and (+) then no i didnt cause there we no wire from my hu to that slot so i dont know how the hu coulda made them stop working unless it unpluged somethign when i moved it into the slot.
is the M08 plug in this picture for the cluster or something? M08
Thats the only thing i can think of.

 

All those plugs go to the AC/Clock/Switches. From what I recall, the illumination for the instrument cluster goes directly to the dimmer switch.

If you Checked the Fuse...

Check to make sure the Dimmer switch is plugged in securly. If it is, check to see if you have power up to the dimmer and check the dimmer with an ohm meter.

 

k, so also i got out of the car with the lights turned on and my right corner light works aswell as my right rear light but the left side does not work.
I checked the fuses they are all good.

 

Which set of fuses did you check? Under the hood? In the car?

 

drivers side fuse box i checked the cluster fuse.

 

There's two cluster fuses... 1 & 13... My Guess would be 13, because it also goes to the cig lighter (which explains why it would of been effected by the installation of a radio).

 

bah, left light fuse controls illuminations via a relay. check the fuse compartment in the engine bay....you will find a blown fuse for the left parking lamp.

i dont know why the thing blew though. the illuminations fuse should blow before it gets to the left lamp fuse. unless you messed with the dimmer switch. that would do it.
