Raz Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The clock and rest of dash doesnt light up rear lights/brake/reverse inicators and sound system dont work.Hey man, That is the exact thing we fixed today on a Diesel Starlet (EP82). The problem we had was the guy tried to put a stereo in. He burnt 7 or 8 wires completely leading to the ignition barrel or around the steering column connectors. We stripped the dash and went onto fault finding and we found all these naked burnt wires. The matey had snipped a wire from where it connects into the male female connector because it kept blowing fuses. All we did is replace all the burnt wires making sure they not touching together and the bit he had cut was for the acutual rear end lighting so we soldered abit of wire and the problem was sorted.
