Speedo Problem
alright so today, i was trying to hook up 2 15" neons to the car. I wanted to wire the neons to the cig lighter. When I spliced open the green light to the cig lighter, and connected everything all, even grounded it, it didnt work. So I tried the cig lighter itself, and that didnt work either. I noticed something funny along when I was trying to test the neons. The speedo light turned on when the headlights weren't on. THen when I turned the headlights on, the speedo light would turn off. All the lights on the gauge cluster turns on. When I turned off the car, and turned it back on, the lights still didnt work, and this time the speedo light didnt turn on at all. Alright, so when I turn the car to acc, and the fuel pump starts, it makes that hissing noise, well if I turn my headlights on during that, it will make another noise... It sounds like that animal on star wars, the woobie?... haha i dont know... but yeah. I don't know what could be the problem, please help?

nope. i turned off the dome light so when the door were open it wouldnt be on, but the neons weren't on, because i still didn't hook them up.
My dad and I jump started the battery, and I took a reading with a multimeter. The reading was 14.28-14.32.
But I have the same problem with the speedo, how the light doesnt work, but now, when I turn on the headlights, the clock will die out.
HELP!

then you gotta keep searching till you find the bad connection or part because it's there somewhere, believe me I've had 2 bad dashes on 2 other car (Legend and Blazer)
Cheap fixes just have to find the problem
not always easy

like, my dashboard just went out when I spliced the cigg. lighter. I did the green ring light around it first, and it blacked out my dashboard, and ac console, then I attached it to the cig lighter itself, and it still didnt work.

Hit me up on AIM once I get home and have access to my FSM - maybe we'll bounce a few more ideas around and see what we come up with.
