Dash wiring! Why?
I've been having a time with this purchase of my first sc300 recently the climate controll went so reading different theards I decided i'd take a stab at it by checking fuses again and looking for coins around the cig lighter. Well went for the fuses on the kick panel and to my surprise There was a cluster of cut and spliced wires. Sad at my new problem i begin to tear in, and my dash lights went out completely! no temp reading,rpm, backlight nothing! i immedetely put it back together only to find nothing still worked. I have pics but cant post untill tonight but i do have one colpret. the two sides had been grounded and the top taped to a 12v lead. Im not sure what this is or what it does but im sure its something with the lights. anyone please with a diagram or info on this part/problem would greatly help.
I'll post pics when i find my usb.

usually when I search I search the forums...Oh and op, unless you are connecting and/or unplugging connectors, leave the wires alone. There is a LOT of wiring in these cars. If it aint broke dont fix it

@ O.L.T. :Im still lost on your diagram but do appreciate it.
@2jznosht: I searched the same and no go, and when i put the pics up you'll see why they had to come out (speaker wire shouldn't be a solution lol) I'll let you guys know what happened. Thanks

Problem solved, did more researched and found out that there was a bad ground all along. i did eventually put everything back minus the (literally) 4 ft of extra wire.

This part is what got my confused the most without it being grounded and jumped to the ignition the dash was solid blank. Can anyone let me know what it is..
This was the culprit. Thanks to all.
