Hi all. I have an 04.5 touring w/o nav. 2 days ago i pulled out my bose HU to fix the cd changer ribbon issue and it is fixed now. Now there are 4 harnesses concted to the HU (2 upper, 2 lower). As i was pulling out the HU, the 2 upper harnesses got opened and the wires were all over the place. Now i found a color diagram online and installed the wires accordingly (see colored wire diagram pic below)...everything ran smoothly until it was night. I turned on my headlights and the lights on the HU illumination did not turn on..in other words when i turn on my headlights, nothing changes inside the car. The TSC, Heated seats, HU, and other console lights dont go on. I pulled out the HU again a while ago and checked the wiring..it is just like the pic below and everything seems ok. Also i checked every single fuse in the car and everything was ok..Any help would be really appreciated. thanks

 

You mentioned you checked every fuse, but did you check the fuse blocks in the side panel under the steering wheel?

 

i checked the fuse boxes in the battery box under the hood and the one next to the clutch pedal..is there another one? where exactly?

 

Does your tach and speedometer work?

 

yes they do..everything works except when i turn on my headlights, the dashlights dont come on..

 

Did you check the fuse box behind the battery in another word you would have to remove the battery to access to the main fuse box under the battery not the one in front.

 

Here is the link to the fuse location https://my350z.com/forum/1806090-post2.html.
