i bought a 1999 blazer 4 door 4x4 recently that had a panasonic cy-vmd9000u, which is a 7 inch flip out cd/dvd player, but it will only flip out of the dash and when it's supposed to tilt up so that you can see the screen, it doesn't... it just goes right back into the dash. so i pulled the stereo out along with the control unit for the stereo and the cd changer that was in the trunk and just going to put something else in there.
however, after i removed everything, i lost most of the lights on the instrument cluster. the check engine light and turn signals come on, but that's it... no gear selection lights or digital odometer, and none of the other lights that come on when you turn the key to ON like the seat belt light, etc. the truck will still start and run, but it just doesn't have any other lights. the only thing i can think of is that a wire for the stereo that i cut was wired into the dash lights somehow, but the only wires i cut (and not just unplugged) were 3 wires that were just tapped into the radio harness on the truck itself, and like i said, those where just tapped into the harness, not like i just clipped the harness wires themselves.
any ideas?
