Display on CD Player

[RickH]

The display on my cd player is not being lit up, making it very hard to read.

All the other buttons and what not are bright, just the display is being affected.

I have a 2006 Chevy 2500HD standard cab truck and a Dual XDM6820 cd player.

It's a work truck, and the guy that had it before me had cut the factory harness off, so the cd player is installed wire-wire (no harness).

When I first installed the cd player the power would flicker on and off quickly. So I took it to my company's mechanic and they ran a wire from the cd player to the fuse box on the side of the dash. They just wrapped the wire around one of the pins of the fuse, and the fuse location is marked 10A TBC ACCY, but the fuse itself is a 20.

The stereo works fine, just the display is almost impossible to see. When I turn the truck on in the morning and sometimes while I drive I notice that the display's brightness will flicker, but then resume being dim.

Thank you for your help

You hooked up your illumination wire wrong most likely.

Do you know where I can find a wiring diagram for the 2006 Chevy 2500HD?

I could never find one online and ended up using a wiring diagram for some late model Chevy car which got me close.
