Dash lights dont work
I recently installed a CD player in my 90 4runner 22RE 5 speed, now my dash lights do not work. I used a wiring harness. I pulled the dash apart looking for the culprit but no luck. I even reinstalled the old tape deck and still nothing. All the fuses are good. Anyone have this problem?

Have you checked the dimmer nob on the left side under the vent area? I once thaught my lights didn't work but I found that someone had turned it off thinking it was the switch to my fog lights. Sove times the best place to start is the easiest problem to fix Just an idea.

Elton, Thanks for the reply. Thats one thing I didn't think of. Mabey it needs a common & floating ground. I am going to try re-grounding it right now. Thanks man I really appreciate it. It really sucks bad having no dash lights (My eyes are always looking at the oil pressure gauge). I'll let you know if I git r fixed.

Yota Runner, Yes that was the first thing I checked. I'm just like you, start at the easiest thing it could be no matter how obvious it may seem. I checked the dimmer, all fuses, relays connections, hooking up the old radio. Nothing worked. Elton gave me a good point of view to check out, the damn ground. I hope thats it. Thanks for everyones replies, I'm off to fix my lights. I will post what I find out.
Thanks Guys.
Thanks Guys.
