Dimmer Problem After Radio Install
So I finally decided to get a better radio for my Evo IX last night. After installing it the dimmer for my boost gauge and clock stopped working. I checked the wiring to the boost gauge and everything was fine. The odd thing is that my gauge cluster and my factory radio dimmer still works fine, I hooked up the factory radio again to see if that was the problem. I think this happened because I accidentaly wired the remote from the aftermarket radio to the dimmer on my car's harness because they were both blue wires. My question is does anyone know if I accidentally blew a fuse or any way I can fix this. Thanks.

My gauge cluster and radio lights dim when i turn on my headlights. The factory clock and my boost gauge dont dim anymore when I turn on the headlight. Would you know the location of the fuse so I can check it out?

Yea, the gauge cluster, clock, and radio lights will dim when you turn the lights on because they are wired into the headlight switch. I am not sure which fuse for you to check, it could be something internal in the headlight switch. Do your radio and boost gauge still light up and function?
