I was just removing my center console(just the top part) and the stereo in order to install an audio device.

When I turn the **** to turn the parking lights on, the display on the deck shuts off completely. My gauge cluster also does not light up nor does the HVAC/Parking indicator/Door handle bulbs etc light up. The only thing that DOES light up is the steering wheel controls. The dimmer also does not work.

I looked over everything and I don't think I unplugged anything? Is there anything that could have possibly been unplugged under the center console or behind the stereo deck that would do this? I even unplugged the audio device in the back of the head unit, but it still does it.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I would appreciate any help!

Thanks guys!

I have the same issue, but its always happened after my LS1 dash swap, not sure if I didnt hook up something, or there is a problem elsewhere...

Did you check fuses first?

Thank you SO much 94 Camaro Z28. I don't know why I didn't think of that. The IP Dimmer switch was blown. Swapped it with a different one and it works fine now!

I can't count how many times something like that has happened to me. I'll fear the worst and it ends up being the simplest thing. Glad it worked out for ya!

Yeah, I guess I didn't even think of it because it was working JUST fine before. Plugging in the new device must have blown it. I figured I must have unplugged something or even worse .

Thanks again!

Glad that's all it was, it can be frustrating when something like that happens. New fuse FTW.

Haha yeah that happended to me when i switched to leds. I kept blowing fuses with that IP dimmer cause i didnt solder the connection in the light switch so i put a higher fuse in, but ended up just putting the stock one back in and leaving the rest till i get a solder gun.
