Hey guys this is my first post so be nice :)

Let me start by saying im a sucker when it comes to magnas. I bought a 96 TE Executive and decided to install a sanyo car stereo. it works great bu my tail lights and instrument cluster do not illuminate.
I Connected the earth cable of the stereo to a green and white cable, (Which i think might be a cable for the tail lights and instrument cluster lights). I know stupid of me right?
What should i check before calling the auto electrician? (earth cable now disconnected from green and white cable).

Any help or ideas will be great!

Bryce

since the original cause has been disconnected... check all your fuses and replace blown fuses with the same size fuse.

It depends if ur HU has the ability to dim or not. If it does it will have a plug on the harness for it, just hook the original wire up to the harness like you would do for a stock HU.
