Major shift light issues...
Major shift light issues... Well I followed install universities install writeup to a "T" but the damn thing still doesn't work, and now my monsoon radio readout is so dim that I can bearly read it. What the hell did I do? 
I've got the green shift light wire going to the #10 pin, the black going to a ground, and the red going to the pink wire going into the radio head unit. The radio still works fine, but did I blow something cuz I cant read the clock

The pink wire at the radio is for the power antenna - you should not have used that for your shift light power. The best place to get power is at the IGN tap in the fuse panel but if you must use a radio wire then the yellow one would be the best choice (although it is RAP controlled and stays on after the ignition is turned off).
Alright, I tried the yellow wire, but still, the light does not operate, and the clock display on the radio is still way dim 
I can't belive a stupid shift light is going to cost me a new head unit

Make sure you have the dip switch settings right.
