Rehostat issues

[krs09]

Damn dash lights. My rehostat worked fine before I started messing with it. Now I have no lights at all. I tried to hook it right back up and no matter what I do I cant get it to work . Is there a pic of how its supposed to be hooked up (I looked at the diagram and its a little vauge). I also heard you can just hook all the wires together to have steady dash lights but I didnt want to cut the connectors off so I tried to make my own connector (3 female connectors and spliced all together at one end with no dice). tips? concerns? Thanks guys and gals.

You really should be able to hook all the wires together and have the lights come on at full brightness and stay there. If that's not working the problem may be elsewhere. Have you checked your fuses? I know when my rheostat started dying it took the fuse with it.

Be sure to make sure your passenger-side tail light works, too. It's wired straight off the rheostat.

This is what the backside of mine looks like.

You probably have a broken wire since it worked before you played with it. Check that red/white wire at the terminal on the rheostat.

Jonathan, it appears you're missing a wire. I have a blue one on the far right (same side where you're missing a connector, position doesn't matter over there).

Haa. My passenger side tail light HAS mysteriously stopped working.. .. .. .. Whats going on.

Hey (sorry, is it Rob or Rod?), can you tell me a bit more about that blue wire? Do you know where it is coming from (or where it is going)? I don't see it on the wiring schematic.

The blue wire is going to the lights in the lights in the ASI radio.
