Before anyone can give you good advice, you need to post the year and model of you car.
Along with that, we need a list of modifications or additions like external tach or gages.

Is this a stock radio or aftermarket? Does the lighting for the radio work OK?

Does the lighting for the radio work OK? Does it dim or get brighter when you turn the dash light control?

My dash lights didnt work and i found out the aftermarket stereo is to blame. Unplugged the wire harness from stereo and works fine, that fixed many issues i had with my wiring.
