in my car i have 2 wires left brown which is the ground wire

and green which is the illumination dimmer wire. Because the green wire is not connected my dash lights dont work, but when i connect it to the power wire the stay on and i cant turn them off. There is no dimmer wire on the head deck so im stumped help please. :D

hiya

you should have two power wires - one is permanently on and the other is switched (thru the ignition) if the panasonic doesn't have a dimmer then if you connected it to the switched power it would at least only come on when you turned the key to ACC

what do u think?

Hey

Ive checked the manual nothing about an illumination wire.

I have two power wires ive tried connecting it to both but no matter which wire it is the lights stay on, only difference is that the beep to tell you that your lights are still on works. I was gonna do a quick fix and buy a switch and connect the dimmer and the power with that and then turn it on when i need it. Thoughts?? :arrgg-matey:
