hey all,
i have a slight problem with my truck due to changing my factory tape deck for a after market cd player. i baught the needed harness hooked it up and all the wires by following the diagram and wire colour code's, how-ever my illumination only works on the ground wire, when dimming my dash lights it don't work but dimms the kms and the bottum lights, the speedo and tack and other instroments get no lights what so ever, now if i hook the illumination to a positive wire red or the yellow battery wire the illumination works, any idea's or how i should wire this would be greatly apprecaited thanks.
Sincerely Zult

 

illumination is normally the orange wire

 

ya and it's labeld on the wire illumination, my problem is the stereo won't power on unless the illumination wire is attached to the ground wire in the aftermarket harness, the other problem is i have no speedo lights or tach lights the park reverse lights work the gauges all along the bottum work bot the top one's, how-ever i founf out today i have no tail lights eather, and help would be great
Sincerely flustered audio problems.

 

would it be wise to cut the wire harness out that i baught and try splicing into the stock wire's in my truck?

 

I normally dont use harnesses. When i go after market i normally only tap power and ground from the oem harness and run speaker wires to the doors or amps.

But in any case, sounds lime you got the wrong harness. Do you have a stock Infinity system?
