Hi, I fitted a new stereo to my wife's 1998 Primera (a recent Japanese import into NZ) and mistakenly connected the orange wire which connected to ground with the ign off to the stereo's gnd wire. The orange wire was however not gnd and when I tried to switch the headlamps on the dash lights wouldn't light. I have now disconnected the orange wire from the stereo but the lights are still out (also the illumination for the auto gear lever). I checked all the fuses and they are OK. Does anyone know what I have damaged? Does the fact that the headlights still work mean that the headlamp switch is OK or are there seperate contacts for the dash lights? Is there perhaps something else in the circuit between the dash lights and the headlamp switch that may have failed? Thanks, Alan
