2005 Speedometer & dash lights don't work
Hi-
I replaced my stereo this weekend and it is working great. However, my dashboard lights (specifically the speedometer & climate control, and other dash lights) aren't coming on. Part of the speedometer lights come on at least the digital parts and the red rev lines. All other lights (besides the dash )in the car work. Also, the airbag light remains on now and my passenger seat keeps thinking there is a body in it without the seatbelt on. I had the seat replaced years ago due to the passenger seatbelt issue, but I find it hard to believe that it would happen to go out again right after I replaced my stereo.
I purchased my wiring harness on Amazon and it matched well. There was one bottom corner white wire cluster section that didn't have a corresponding attachment, but without an exact wiring diagram I don't know what these are for. There was also an orange wire on the wiring harness attachment that said dashboard lights, but again...I didn't haven't a corresponding wire to attach it to. I can't see why the main dashboard bits would be wired to the stereo anyway.
Any ideas/suggestions? Also...any wiring diagrams so that I can see what wires need to go where?
Thanks!
