hey, i have a 2002 sentra and just put an aftermarket deck in it, but while doing so, i ended up with the illumination wire left over, everything else matched up fine... and the deck works fine, didn't notice any problems with it.
but the first time i drove at night i noticed my dash lights, licence plate lights and running tail lights don't work, brake lights and signals still do though... anyone have any ideas?
you've seen the wire be left over, or all the lights die?
by the way, the lights don't just not work, they blew the fuse, then when i replaced it, that fuse immediately blew too

the dash lights and brakes were working before you put the radio in right.
i just think that this is just a coincdence
the illumination wire is supposed to go the the dimmer switch so when you turn the lights it dims so it wont look like bmw headlight in the dash. you dont have to hook it up mines not, i just manually dimmed my radio
your sure you replace the fuse with the right fuse, and it aint easy to hunt down the problem in the wiring harness
I had that same problem in one of my cars were the back lights dont work and only the blinkers and front lights work it ended up being a wire leftover that was supposed to be hooked up to the stock stereo but it needed to be connected to a posotive wire in the new stereo then it worked just fine
