Ok so I just installed an old eclipse CD7000 I had into my 06 using a Metra wiring harness adaptor. Everything works but now my dash lights wont dim even though my gear selector lights and clock do. I've already searched and the dimmer ground wire is hooked up on the wiring harness. Any ideas on WTF? I highly doubt it is the rheostat.
