[QUOTE="sheldonxp, post: 8787346, member: 685780"] Hey everyone - first post here. I have a 2000 Echo who's factory CD player died. I have replaced it a factory CD player from a 2006 matrix. Everything works as it should except the dimmer, which is odd because they use the same wiring and harness. The Echo has a dimmer knob that makes the instrument panel brighter and dimmer when the headlights are on. It is also supposed to increase the brightness of the radio lights. However, with this "new" radio, it's doing the inverse of what it should! When I turn the brightness knob up on the car, the radio lights turn DOWN, and vice versa. Very odd! Why would this be happening? I had a different Echo before, and also replaced the radio in that one, and this weirdness never happened. If I tried swapping the + and - ILLUMINATION wires (green and green/white) could this cause any potential damage? I can't really think of anything else.... Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
