Easy Dome Light fix after installing an aftermarket radio

[quartus]

If you installed an aftermarket radio and then find your dome light doesn't work anymore when you open a door, its because the dome light circuit went through the original stock radio.
Its a easy fix if you DON"T have keyless entry option (thats another story).

Pull radio out and look in the cavity where it was, you should have a 16pin gray connector (radio related) , a disconnected 22 pin green connector (security system, not used) and a disconnected 16 pin green connector.

The disconnected 16 pin green connector needs a jumper installed from pin 8 to pin 14 to complete the domelight circuit and fix the issue. Refer to photos for more info but basically put a jumper between the far lower right socket and the 3rd from left socket on same row (bottom row). That should give you your, door activated, dome light back.

all it is, is a piece of stereo wire. it needs to be about 3in ling, just cut off some insulator on both ends, and stick it into the right pins.

Is this the same with 99-00?

i believe this is only for the 96-98 models with factory keyless entry. because the keyless entry in these models were integrated into the factory stereo.
