this is gonna sound stupid, but what if you don't re-wire the dimmer wire... no illumination? I just installed an amber clock I bought on e-bay. Looks great, but too dim in day time (I drive with parking lights on).
if it is a must that I wire from where I cut the clock harness, to behind the dimmer switch, what is the best way to run this wire?!
oh yea, lastly... "testing" the wire? I'm no electrician, and I've been lucky and installed numerous car stereos, amps, subs, components... as well as did customs on my alarm system (door leds) and hard wired my radar detector to the fuse box with female adaptors and grouding where I can find good locations. what do you mean by testing this "new" wire I will run? correct guage? sorry for being so ignorant!
oh yea, and sorry for digging up the past!! gotta love the search function!
