You don't have your dimmer switch turned down do you?

nope

no i check that i pull out and go both ways and the interior light go's on but the instrument panel does not...i also check the bulbs for it and all seem O.K. i did see my cuz cut the wires that the old radio was connected to he didn't use the existing plug ins he cut out the plug ins....and use the wires individually .could there be something there that was needed??

By the way BlueCobra you car is light my car weight in at 3270 LBS with me out the car !!!

Yes it is light it has fiberglass hood doors and hatch aswell as lexan glass in the hatch. It does have full interior and a 8 point roll bar aswell as the 351w in it though.

I would suspect that he cut a wire that you need for the lights.

i had no idea that wires that connect to the radio had a connection with the gauges... what do u think i should do im lost here???

I posted a question for a vacuum issue 2 weeks ago and someone posted a web site that has diagrams for electrical and vacuum.

Maybe some one knows this site.
