I bought a new cd player. I bought the wiring harness to help make the installation easier. I wired the harness to the harness comming out of the cd player. A couple of the wires were not used. I know this is pretty usual, but if i neglect to use the Illumination wire, will it cause my interior lights (gauges, gear shift) to stop lighting?

Thanks in advance.

 

I had a problem with my air controlls (right above radio) not lighting up when I had my radio out so you might have a problem but not sure if it was just loose connection and it started working when I was puting the radion back in because of jiggling the wires or something. sorry im not much help.

 

all the illum wire does it let the deck know when your vehnicles night lights are illuminated, then it will dim the decks lighting (if applicable).
