    Hey guys! Soo long story short. I install a LED for lighting up cup holder area awhile ago. And rescently the light has been flickering on off. So i redo the wire connections with quick splice connectors. But the LED doesnt work now at all. So i disconnect it and fix up the wires for the ac control lights.
    And now the lights are dim and dont work with the dimmer switch.. help!! What couldve happened?

    Why would they be dim?? I checked the wires and connections and everything is right. Inless a fuse blew. But the dimmer switch works on everything else just not the Ac control lights.
