interior light fuse

[kanadary]

i hadn't heard of this issue until i was researching how to get illumination for my radio install. i know its been discussed alot here but wanted to bring it up for all the G series owners and probably the earlier models too, maybe? to fuse the line that powers the dash lights, and interior lights. its the blue/black, contains three wires, and the terminal is 58a. not sure if a sticky can be made but i think it would be helpful. Maybe one that states, must dos to your new ride or something like that. Also i know some have posted about the AC system fusing or adding relays.

Not sure what you mean by radio illumination.

Most radios have built-in dial illumination.

pm me as needed.

my nakamichi headunit has a wire that connects to the dash lights so you can dim the radio display when your lights are on so i needed to find a connection to the headlight switch and that's how i found out about fusing the interior and dash lights not being fused. it was actually your post in there with pictures and a hand written sheet stating the on/off functions of each connector to the headlight switch, v helpful. i knew about putting a relay for the headlights themselves but hadn't read about the dash lights.
