Dash light illumination wire - Power Acoustik PTID-5800 Car Video Player

The radio needs a ground.
The illumination wire connects to the dash lights.

To dimmer switch for dash lights you may have blown a fuse i never hook that wire up on any car stereo

check the relay's incoming wire from the light switch. I suspect the actual switch is faulty as you have also lost the dash lights .
If no voltage arrives to the relay coil there is a good chance it is the actual switch.

had this happen to one of my cars and had no headlights at all and no dash board illumination and it was the switch.

Have you considered it to be the light bulb itself?

There is a small fuse in the cab fuse block ,for the insterment panel that is verry easy to miss if you don,t look close ,it is hidden kind of at the top of the fuse block behind the wires,

Most certainly a wiring fault, you need a wiring diagram, these items are related as in all on same circuit. Check rear of fuse box.

the illumination wire is for your dash lights so you can dimm the light on your deck. your best bet would be to go to the car audio store and buy a wire harness for 15$ this will convert your in dash factory plug to an after market plugg for your deck.

I'm guessing you're talking about the dash light aound the radio. The dash lights around the radio share the same fuse with all the other lights that come on when you turn the parking light on. If the other light are working then your fuses are fine. What i think might have happen was when you took the dash cover off, the bulbs behind it might had burn out. You might want to try new bulbs.

good luck

I had soved my problem... That was stupid.. The cause is that I tried to connect the (illumination +) and the (illumination -) wires togetter on the dimmer wire of my double din unit. That make a short cut and blow the litening fuse (fuse 13 on passenger side fuse panel). I replaced correctly the wiring, keeping the (illumination +) wire unused. That solve my problem but, however I get back my dash illumination, I can't adjust the lightning level... I thing I have a problem with the level switch.. It don't matter to me but if you get the same problem and solve it, please tell me your solution.

you need to splice the + wire into the Acc wire. the with power only when you turn the key. and the - wire into the black ground wire. hope this helps
