Installed an Alpine deck and had to take out old head unit
receiver, now there is no lights to the dash instruments tachometer, speedometer, fuel, A/C-blower controls. However, the defrost, check engine light, door ajar and gas warning light still light up. All fuses are fine in engine bed and cab.

Hello,

Can you please check the fuse #39 for power? This is the fuse that runs the system. Also, check for power at the blue and red wire going into the instrument cluster when the headlight switch is on.

Here are guides to help you:

Here is the instrument cluster lighting wiring diagram so you can see how the system works (below).

Check out the diagrams (below).

Please run this test and get back to us.

Cheers, Ken
