Has anyone else had the same problem..
When ever i turn the side lights on or the headlights on, the digital dash display bit where the time shows up turns off?

Any suggestions as to whyy or how i can stop it?

Thanks

Check the dimmer wheel below the light controls

I have done that and its still exactly the same, the dimmer switch doesnt effect it

Replace the bulb?

mine does the same,the time dissapears when i turn the lights on, havent a clue why though, mine does the same when i turn on the cd player.

Yupp, thats exactly what happens with mine.. surley someone must have an explanation for that? lol
It can get quite annoying when it happens
Specially at night when you need to see the time!!

also if (like me) you fitted an after market stereo and found the date on you display goes blank, take it off and cut the wire (or remove the pin) for pin 8
this way your date should stay on when your stereo is on

but im sure i've also heard some where that this buggers up ur radio reception but am not sure

can any one thats done this before help please!!!!!

I had this, took me a while to figure it out.

basically, i only twigged onto it when i chucked something onto the dash above the display and "shock horror" it all came back on.....

bit later on, went off again , though "mmmmm...i wonder"......*whack*

display comes back on.

took it apart, re-seated the wires and now no more problems.

Must have just been a loose connection ^_^

I heard if you cut the red wire, it doesn't disappear when you turn your stereo on.
