No Interior lights???
 

Hi,

I have a 96 Eclipse GS Spyder and I went out to have some dinner yesterday around 9pm and it was very dark (as it should be at that hour hahahhah) and turned on my lights and *usually* this brings up lights inside the car to the gauges and the transmission stick but not this time. Only the parking break light was on and when I took it off everything was dark. I have power for the lights on the window mirror as well as power for the stereo and power locks but no other lights appear. Usually when I open the door a red open-door sign appears but not this time. This was not the first time I noticed that strange thing, last week a few times the open-door light will not turn when I open the door. It is very weird. I replaced the battery of the car 2 weeks ago, could this be causing it, do I need to go check it or it is something electrical that needs a mechanic?

Has anyone experienced it and know what is causing it and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot,

Svetlin

P.S
I am not sure whether Eclipses have that ability but when one turns to Acc in the car if the radio has been on before the car has been shut it starts and at the same station, same with CDs. At least from what I have seen in other cars. Mine do not keep that, is that electrical and connected with the problem as well or just Eclipse do not support that feature?

on the sterio it sound like the constant or remote is is loose.

and if thats the cause of your stereo problem, then if the stereo is aftermarket, it could also be the cause of your guage lights not coming on, id pull the stereo and check all the wiring........

Guys,

You might be right because the night before I was trying to change my regular Pioneer CD player with a MP3-enabled Pioneer and was taking the CD player from the wiring in and out (the new player does nto want to power up, it does only when in a certain position so I was trying to move it around the car to find the place when it will be on :)). I might have messed something with this stupid actions. May I ask whether you know what colors the constant wire is and where I should link it to. I will try to check whether some wire is no loose there but it is really hard to reach these things under the dash :(

Thanks a lot of the help.

tear it apart... I know eclipses are notoriously harder than hell to install sterio and components.. but if your lights aren't working, YOU NEED THOSE!! lol, weekend is comin up brah.. get out the trim tool and go to town on it
