can someone help please,I had a stereo put in andnow the illumination lights wont work and the rear view lights stay on and wont dim down when the doors are shut....we used the wiring plug for the new stereo but there was another plug with 5 wires that came out of the old stereo that wont plug into the new 1,could that be it, if so what wires need to be hooked to power....the old stereo was an infiniti w/a stock amp under seat...please help
According to the service manual, the radio feeds a signal to the center "multi center display unit". That would be the LCD display that is in the center of the dash, and tells you the time, radio station, compass direction, etc.
Those wires are colour coded, white and red, and black and brown. The brown wire attaches to the shield on the cable. The connector at the radio end looks like 8 pins, but only four wires are shown on the drawing.
The audio /radio cable is a 14 pin connector; Pin 10, white/black, is from the acc feed Pin 11, red/white, is a constant 12V from the battery, through a 10 amp fuse. Pin 4, green/white, is from the tail light relay (12 volts) most likey used to dim the display at night . Pin 12, blue/yellow goes to the rheostat (manual light dimmer) Pin 3, pink goes to the antenna motor control. The rest of the wires are for those cars without the remote amp
The DIN connector goes to the amplifier (under the seat)?
Try disconnecting the blue yellow wire from the "new stereo" install. Then try your lights. The schematic shows the rheostat simply provides a resistance (variable) ground to blue/yellow wires. Does your new stereo expect a different voltage on this wire.
The dome light assembly, and it's dimming, is controlled by the ETACS- ECU. Are you sure the dome light switch is set correctly.
I'm assuming "rear view lights" means "dome lights" here.
