did the climate control and stuff work before you took out the indiglo gauges the first time?

if so.
the dimmer knob normally regulates all the lights (gauge, cc, stock stereo, cig-lighter). so if all those are out it *does* suggest something in that area.

what about the light-ring around the ignition and door courtesy lights (some celica's have these lights, others don't)? and the dome light (all should have a dome light)? none of those are controlled by the dimmer on my car. so if they light up fine on yours that points to something related to the dimmer and not higher up the line, closer to the battery/alternator.

it has to be the dimmer. mines connected to some other weird wire that goes all the way down to the fender. then there's the other one from my 99 motor that's taped behind my gauge cluster. my key ring lights up but nothing else does except the cd player. the gauge only light up when the white face gauge are installed cause of the wire that makes it glow. anyways any one else who can help? thanks to those who have helped me out even though i still can't get my lights back on. i tried everything you guys told me. nothing. im stuck.
