Kevins750 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 So I decided to find out why none of my interior lights are working. Looks like previous owner pulled the courtesy lights fuse. I installed the fuse and got my overhead, glovebox,and floorboard lights working at this time. In the middle of this I decided to put an old stereo system I had left over from years ago, anyway I decided to cut the wires on the old radio(I know I should have bought the kit, but I didn't) I am only using the 3 wire harness(battery power, switched power, ground) the other harness has speaker wires and other wires I am not sure of there origin. So the question, did I cut a ground from my dash lights in the radio harness? I have power through all the fuses, but no dash lights. I have a manual I bought the other day but no detail on the radio or dash wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Instrument illumination is here: Electrical/1981 EVTM/Instrument Illumination. And radio wiring is here: Electrical/1981 EVTM/Radios. As you'll see, the instrument illumination fuse (#17) is not the same one as interior lights. So check to see if the guy also pulled that fuse.
