help, electronical problems

Okay, remembering when I said I ran over my dash, lol...yeah well I did and like since I don't have a dimmer control anymore, that means that I do not have lights for my needles and hvac knobs... The harness going into the dimmer switch had like 4 wires I think... I plan on rigging up som switches in that spot for other things, and I believe I will have a switch for the interior lights to do that function too...does anybody know the purpose of each wire there. Orginally I thought it was just 2 powers and 2 grounds and the dimmer switch controlled the illumination, but then I realized that if you flick the dimmer all the way up you get interior lights too...so that threw that idea out the window...I'm stumped...any ideas anyone?

no I'm not getting a new dimmer switch, lol.

Buy a new switch :thumbsup:

junk yard lol

"Nuf ced McGreevey shouted!" Leave that simple and get cool switches for everything else.

Leave that simple and get cool switches for everything else.:werd: its a dimmer switch so just leave that stock.

yeah I don't ever use it, lol. Plus I need that spot for my switches. I'll figure it out by myself I guess geez, lol. What about Power Windows/Locks, Keyless entry and an Alarm system. You guys wanna help me with that, or should I just pay a professional, lol. You know professionals are just people like us, the only difference is they've done it like 50x more, so they can just do it quicker, lol.

Well what about power window/locks and alarms and keyless entry?? Are you asking how to hook them up and everything?? never did a conversion from manual windows to power so I cant help you out there. keyless entry I'm pretty sure is just a matter of programming it in, and alarm I have hooked up a few and if you have never done it before I would suggest having someone do it for you.

....and alarm I have hooked up a few and if you have never done it before I would suggest having someone do it for you.

so what are you doing tomorrow? lol

^haha work my friend. just take the bitch to a shop and have them do it then. or if you have any friends or friends that know someone that could do it, then have them do it for you.

I think I'll do the windows myself, doesn't look too hard and the box says "quick and easy installation"...it better not lie, lol. Yeah I'll do that tomorrow after work then hopefully trim them into my door, and wrap my fabric onto my doors and have them back on by friday morning...but you know me...it probably won't get done until like monday, lol.

No such thing as a Quick and easy installation when it comes to cars.

No such thing as a Quick and easy installation when it comes to cars.I beg to differ about that. Some stuff is very easy to intall on cars. but when it comes to the techinal shit that can get a little complicated.

lol

lolWell am I right?? or do you disagree?

some stuff is easy some is hard, some easy taks turn hard when you break a bolt lol

yeah i'm taking it to a pro, this sucks, lol.

could be worse i guess

I did have a white dimmer switch..I ran it over remember? lol. Yeah the lighting is Horrible plus I have a sucky camera..but you get the idea. Installed myself!!!! yay!

Hmmmmmm :gay: haha jk bro pretty cool man.

thanks, I didn't want Red cuz it would be like an overkill of red. So I went with White, which actually turns out to be a lot brighter anyway, my friend put Orange neons on his Eclipse and mine are brighter!!!!

Nice glad it worked out good for you man. The white was probably a good choice to mix it up a little like the red/white contrast on the interior.

I have a white dimmer panel, hahahahahaha :lol:
