I just bought a 99 Accord and swapped out the cd player for the one out of my last (now totalled) car. Now the dash lights don't turn on when I turn on the headlights. When I was looking through the wiring guide on my harness, it said the orange wire was the dash light dimmer wire. I'm assuming that that is the reason the lights aren't coming on. The only problem is, I don't know where to connect it - all of the wires coming from my stereo (a Pioneer DEH-1100) are connected to something. Where should I connect the dash light dimmer wire?
that wire has nothing to do with dash lights on and off, you may have blown a fuse somewhere. the orane wire should go to the orange wire on the pioneer harness
