Good evening or whatever time it is where you are located. I have a few questions. Typing on phone so if it looks bad or doesn't make sense. Let me know happy to clarify. I'll try to make this as short as possible.
I am completing a dash swap and I almost have everything buttoned up. But, I wanted to test a few things. Currently have EVERYTHING disconnected from HVAC panel and instrument cluster out. I have a low beam that never worked and I swapped the switches out. Trying to troubleshoot...
Question 1. The little light bulbs for the hvac panel, the cluster, and the light for the headlight switch. They all blew at once? The one by the headlight switch worked, then I swapped it around and it blew. I bought all new bulbs, but before I start testing. Would the instrument cluster and HVAC being removed, with nothing wired cause an issue in circuits? I know the alternator will not charge with the instruments removed. So not sure if it is associated. If that makes sense. Iirc the defrost plays a part in that circuit. Just asking.
I did test before I had the bracket for the air bag control unit, with the big ground wire. I forgot about that big ground point and my dash is a little different. So maybe not a good ground...?
Question 2. I have an analog clock coming in. I've seen a few issues with people burning out their Si board when swapping. Would I have any issue just piggybacking from the radio? Switch for illumination and constant for power etc. Just dont want to take the risk with the Si board having issues.
