Wow, thanks. Awesome info. Thanks a lot for taking those pictures.

I think I know what I have to do now. The hard part will be getting it out enough so that I can cross 9 & 3.


Hmmm, just a thought...


Do 9 & 3 actually have to be crossed, or do I find out which one is the ground, and wire that to a ground source? Because it seems that the same thing happened to my cig lighter causing the backlights not to work at night. Somehow, one of the grounds was not grounded anymore, so I had to connect a wire from a grounded wire to the wire that was supposed to be grounded. Is that what I have to do here, or do I simply have to run a wire that connects 9 to 3?

Just think of that wire as to connect to switch...
switch is basically crossing the wire to close the loop

I've also messed up the cig light by crossing the wire "accidently"... it's little different wiring then the 9 and 3...

I believe cig light is connect to inside cabin network box..
It's like junction box... I haven't valified it myself but it's the brown/redish box below the fuse box inside the car...
That cig-light crossing also cause my radio back light to malfuntion... basically it's backlight voltage has been flipped... there is voltage comming in but it just doesn't work... I've swapped the radio, but still doesn't work...
I've also switch the relay($60),, no luck..

But I think I can assure that box is the problem source..
Big problem is that it cost hundreds of dollar to get it from the dealer... so I just live without the radio backlight at night and no cig light...

Oh well.. I've also short circuit the dome light.. LOL

So at night you can't see much in my car...

Not too familiar by what you mean. I am a retard when it comes to electronics. Could someone clarify?

You draw it yet? Also, did you try that fix I sent you for the stereo backlights?

Sorry.. I've been busy lately... no time for anything..

If you want ghetto style...
Just cut the existing two wire.. and cross it...

Or you can get a extra wire... tap it on to each wire... and add a little 2 way swith and wire it to the switch..
So you can turn it on it off as you like... or else AC will be on all the time.. if you do it the above way...

My mechanic took the control board to a specialist, and it checked out fine. He now thinks it's a bad ground in the computer located in the passenger side kicker panel, under the fuse box. We are gonna rip into it today.

I'll let you know what happens.
