#292245 - 09/02/06 05:52 PM Xterra trouble
Anonymous Unregistered	Can someone explain to me how to remove the rear speaker�s panel? NOOOOOOB PROOF And second question in relation to this thread http://www.xterraownersclub.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=38;t=003004 Quote: southernx7 /QUOTE] [QUOTE] 2001 Goldrush/camo 4X4 XE posted January 19, 2006 09:08 AM ________________________________________ Had the same issue 2 years ago after installing a new stereo. Marker lights and all interior dash lights did not work. I pulled the dimmer plug and ran a wire from the power side of the dimmer to the accessory part of a toggle switch that I set up with seperate power and ground. I had originally bought a wiring harness to attatch the new cd player to the harness of the truck but it wouldn't work so I had to snip the wires and attatch them to the cd player wires. Somewhere in this project a wire that must run in series from the dimmer to control the brightness of the stock cd player must not have been reattatched. So now I can manually turn off and on the marker lights and interior dash lights by the flip of a toggle switch. This might not be the best way about it but it's been working for 2 years. after i had my head unit replaced at best buy my dash lights stop working, is it the fuse? and if so what is the fuse name because i was looking for it and could not find it or is it under that hood? because i was looking at the driver side. third question, when i saw what the buy best people did i saw that the ground wire was connected to the harness but the harness does not have a ground wire, is that ok? fourth question, what size are the front speakers/tweeter?

Anonymous Unregistered	call their cooporate office they will listen, and you will probably more out of it too if you bitch enough. believe me i know, i work for a major retailer. those lights are from walmart, but i dont think they carry them any more. if you go over to midwestxterraowners.com there is a whole thread about those exact same lights in the electricity forum.

Anonymous Unregistered	6 1/2 will fit, thats what i used. you just have to stretch the plastic baffle and use only 3 screws instead of 4.

If you e-mail or PM me I'll send you the exact instructions for rear speaker installation taken from the Crutchfield Mastersheet for Xterras. You don't have to remove the entire panel and it will save you a lot of time.

Anonymous Unregistered	no i didn't. i took it back to bestbuy and bitch at them. so the guy spend about 1 hour checking every fuse with some electronic thing and he said i was right all the fuse is working. now i have run out of options and i am taking it back to the dealer tonight if side markers are the yellow lights right next to the head light, yes it is working right now.
