('95 GST)Bought car with a bad dimmer switch, from what i could tell, so i installed dimmer switch which gave me the dash lights back. This caused the horn fuse ,in engine bay fuse box, to blow and front and rear marker lights to stay on.The maker lights stay on only if there is a fuse in the horn/fuse slot.It dosnt matter if the fuse is good or blown they come on and stay on.Not that big of a deal because dont really use the horn, but seems like there has to be a short or some other problem i'm unaware of.Any thoughts of what it could be???.
Thanks Kurt

no, Someone has wired the Dash wire into the radio in the wrong spot. I had this issue, its a bitch. You have to find the right wire it hooks too I believe it was a ground. Because then when you flick the switch on they go on properly. Have done it on 4 cars now, its the same issue, can be time consuming. good luck!

OMGosh! I dislike wires ...yes it did have a radio wired fairly crazy when i purchased the car, but the first thing i did when i noticed the lights didnt work and the radio was kinda just "there" I unhooked it. Well any tips on finding it, its a mess back there with all the ,amp,radio, and cd changer wires cut.:(
