I got an overhead console all set up in my Ranger, however I have a few wiring quirks I'm wondering about.
First, the console only works when the dome light is shut off (existing dome light in the truck). If I open the doors, the console shuts off. If I turn on either of the map lights on the console itself, same story - the display shuts off. When I use the dimmer switch to turn on the dome light, the display goes out as well. When I turn on the headlights, the console display dims, and when I use the dimmer switch to dim the other lights in the truck, the console display gets brighter! Any ideas on what wire(s) I may have messed up?
