you probably used the Illumination wire as a ground.

what did you do to wire your pioneer radio?

Which one is the illumination wire? and do I need a ground?

how do i extract the syereo and dissconnect that wire?

did you disconnect your battery before messing with your head unit?

Sounds like you grounded the wrong wire. Pull the radio out and double check all wires.

I didn't disconnect the battery. Am I up the creek?

No, just re-check your wiring.

mine are out too... didnt have anything to do with the radio (i think, since they went out a few months after i installed it...). i replaced the fuse and they worked again... for awhile, now it blows the fuse instantly after i turn the lights on. i've been without dash lights for a few months now... oh well, i've gotten pretty good at judging speed

Have you tried using a bigger fuse?

did you use a wire harness for that car?

if so did you cap off the wires you did not use? if not do so. the orange/white wire grounded out and poped the fuse for your lights.

A bigger fuse doesn't solve the problem

Lol^

Anyways, just go check your fuse, then check your orage/while wire, and see if you connected it to a black one. if you did.... undo it.

Worst advice ever. If you want to burn your car down, listen to JB. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif
