I just bought an s13 (finally!) and when I turn on the headlights the dash lights are out. I searched but what I found confused me. Maybe its cuz its late. But anyways the previous owner said they went out when he installed a new head unit. All I want to know it what wire and where is the wire? Thanks.

 

check fuses, then bulbs

 

It's probably a wire in the harness that just needs to be bolted to a ground, like I said in previous threads, I forget which wire it is though. Sorry, I know thats not really much help lol

 

Thats what I thought to do from reading the other threads about this, but do you know where the wire might be? The guy I bought it from said the passenger side kick panel. Is it there or behind the head unit?

 

i think thats a common thing for 240s because my car is like that too. although the owner LIED to me about that and said everything WAS working right. anyways its not the fuse its the wires.

 

It will be behind the head unit

 

I had the same problem with mine. Had power everywhere so everthing should of worked, Found that the dimmer swicth was b stuck to the lowest setting.Could not turn it up. For now I put in a bye pass wire to make it work. Hope this helps.
