The wire that runs the interior light dimmer....does that go to a constant power or to the accessory power? I cant remember which one I hooked it up to but now my damn parking lights come on when I crank the car and I can dim them with the little swivel under the light switch. The radio lights nor interior lights dim now. I used a plug harness so nothing factory was cut.
AND, does anyone have an extra coin tray? lmao....guess what happened to the old one!

Dimmer for the radio can be hooked up to the gauge dimmer fuse, (the only 5 amp fuse in the fuse panel).
Can't help you on the coin tray, sorry.

i dont even understand what you did with the dimmer, but the dimmer sources its power from, and is switched via the parking light position/circuit in the headlight switch. the parking light wire (non-rheostat'd) is brown when under the dash (in case that rings a bell).

good luck.
