is3oo Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I just installed a new CD deck in my IS, (Pioneer DEH-P840MP), but when I turn on my lights, the lights for the dash don't come on. Hooked up everything right, although there is an orange/white wire on the deck that is to be hooked up to the "lighting switch terminal". I didn't know what it was, so I didn't connect it to anything Please help!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus_Rex Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 sounds like you need to connect those.. I bet one is a power and one is maybe a ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 hi don't mean to barge in but i have a similar problem. I have a 2001 IS300. The lights in the dash doen't come on. I tried the light knob that adjusts the light and still does work. Any ideas? The turn signal, power, snow, highbeam all still come on when i activate them. BUt the backlight doesn't. Maybe the leds are out. Anyone know how to take out the cluster? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 anyone checked a fuse and to the guy who jus barged in LOL did you also replace a deck? maybe a wire for the new deck is connected to a wire for the lights by accident causing the system to malfunction try disconnecting each wire at a time to see if it returns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Found the problem! I didn't replace the cluster or anything. I think there is a short somewhere. I checked all the fuses and they are still good. After a long while, i decided to supply a temporary power line to the fuse for the cluster and it came on! NOw i just need to go through all that wiring to see which one is not delivering power. Anyone know where to look?? Or does anyone know where i can buy that electric diagram manual for the 2001 is300?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 the dealer can order the wiring schematic it is about 30 for it or ask them for a copy of the relavent pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
