Hi Guys,

I installed a new CD player in my car and my tail lights and dash lights now do not work, i am unsure what has happened.

I checked all fuses and they are fine (pulled each one out).

Also removed my CD Player cutting all the wires to ensure it would cover that.

Auto electricians have told me that it is related to installing the new cd player, since i have removed the cd player i thought it would now work.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

if someone is close by to me i will pay to get it fixed.

could be that you have un-done a screw that had an earth lug on it and have forgotten to re earth the circut.

in my experience its normally something silly like that, have a good look around for any wires that are just hanging around not connected to anything, typically black or black stripe for earth but not always.

definately a fuse dude

one of the fuses in the engine bay (from memory)

you've most likely earthed you head unit to your parkers wire (used to dim the headunit when ur parkers are switched on)

so earth it sumewhere else or every time you change the fuse it will go bang soon as you flick the parkers on. :P

I have cheked all fuses etc, you may be right about an earth wire but its strange cause in the 33's u get a standard loom plug with the standard head unit, when i bought my car it had a non standard cd player in it but same loom plug just with wires plugged into the correct loom spots, i just ran off these wires and the new head unit worked straight away.

I am stumped, its in the shop now getting it fixed ill see what the outcome is.

Getting pulled over again would not be fun cause my car is so friggen low n dont really want cops noticing i have no tail lights :'(

Cheers for all help provided!

I had the lights fixed, they said it was something under the dash..

i put my cd player back in n f**ked it up again!!!!

pulled it out again n now its back at stage 1

HELPPPPP

im thinking of selling this POS

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
