Im still having a problem with my dashboard lights thier not working and im just wondering if the orange wire on the harness from my car needs to be wired to something for the dashboard lights to work or does the orange wire have nothing to do with the dashboard lights? my car is a 97 civic if anyone can help id appreciate it, thanks.

Some have mentioned having troubles with the dimmer unit itself, causing problems with the dash lights on the 6th gens. There is a small module behind the dimmer control ****.

I'm assuming you are talking about the orange illumination lead from an aftermarket radio ?? I would leave it unhooked until you fix the dash lights and then try it.

okay thank you i will take a look behind the dimmer unit and see if i can see the problem. Anything inparticular that i should be looking for?

Also does anyone know where the dashboard lights fuse is located in a 97 civic? is it located with the fuses under the dashboard or the fuses under the hood? thanks.
