Interior/Instrument panel lights gone dark after removal of radio

Asked by Kaydee Oct 23, 2020 at 10:19 AM about the 2000 Dodge Caravan FWD

Question type: Car Customization

I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan. (Not Grand Caravan). I decided to upgrade
the factory installed radio with a new system. All I did was remove the stereo
from the dash, unplug the harness and antennae & remove the wires from
the harness. Now, several things have stopped working simultaneously: The
instrument panel lights do not work at all; all internal lights will only turn on
when the ignition is on & the open door chime does not sound, but the digital
odometer and gear box lights work, the cigarette lighter works. All fuses
(both inside & outside fuse boxes) are intact. How do I fix this?

You probably hooked something back up incorrectly. I would take it back off and check to make sure everything is in the correct slot. Is this the first time this doing it to you? Hope this helps!
