i just installed my injen SRI. sounds great btw but my speedometer does not light up anymore. i thought i had heard of this happening before but i couldn't find it in the search. can someone please help?

 

You checked all the connectors around the area you were working.
I cant see how the install of the intake could have anything to do with the speedo lights not working.

Stupid question but could your dimmer be turned the wrong way.

 

dimmers on all the way. my friend messed with the negative terminal and touched it on the battery a couple times on and off so maybe i blew a fuse?

 

Theres a fuse in the bcm called cluster check that one.

 

whats that fuse called in the owners manual? if you could look for me that would be great.

 

CLTR fuse #7 10 amp

 

friends dont let friends work on thier car

 

he was helping and i let him undo the battery. haha but youre right

 

Hey another question
Does the light turn on when you turn your head lights on manually.

 

i tried that and no it doesn't come on. i haven't had time to check that fuse yet so i'm hoping that's it but keep throwing ideas out anyways.

 

Only a few thing can cause them not to work.

Bad wiring to the light.
BCM gone bad
Bad connection to BCM
Day light sensing unit gone bad
Dimmer switch failed(Im leaning towards this one)

 

but what would cause that dimmer switch to fail if you think that's it and how would i go about fixing it?

 

morning bump

 

ttt!

 

Theres a procedure for jumpering out the dimmer switch with a fused jumper wire to bypass the electronic dimmer part of the switch to see if that is the problem.

 

do you by chance know that procedure? and if it was the dimmer switch could i just go to the dealer and order another switch?

 

i fixed it. thanks for all the help.
turns out there was a short in the headlight wiring harness from when i still had the gen 1 projectors.
a little electrical tape and a new parking lamp fuse did the trick.
thanks guys.
