i installed a cd player a while back and a couple months or so after doing so, i have to turn the dimmer switch up and turn on the dome light(part of the swich, 93 caprice) in order for the sound to come out of the speakers. when i turn on the dome light i can push the dial back down to the low dimmer/domelight off possition and the dome light stays on and dim..

i checked the stereo wiring and it IS right, and i took the dimmer dial switch out and cleaned it and that didnt help, but when i took the fuse out for the dimmer switch then it was fine.

but i needed it in for door locks so i put it back in and took the dome light bulb out.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Graham.

disconnect and tape up the dimmer and/or illumination wires from the radio's harness and see if that fixes the problem.

THAT MAKES SENSE.......

You don't need the dimmer to be hooked up for the radio to work!!! Heck, I don't even have mine hooked up right now! Why didn't i think of that. Good one Esmith.
