(for reference i have a 96 R50 W/ manual, 4X4, and all of the options if that matters, just trying to cover all of the basis's)
So i have read through this post, and it seems i have the similar problem.
Only thing is that i am trying to change the ash tray bulb to an LED,
The LED is a generic LED i bought at Radio Shack
Its a 5 volt, 20mA 4.0 mcd (thats what it says on the package)
But from what i read the standard bulb that goes into the ash tray is a 1.7A ( i think, if i remember that right)
But the point is if i could get some advice from how to make this current LED work, because i am installing a new Kenwood deck and i have the AUX port routed through the back of the stereo and down the center console and up through the ash tray to keep a nice clean look, so i was hoping i would fix the light at the same time, but it turned into a bigger problem than i expected.
What i have done so far:
I ruled out a fuse from reading up above how the same fuse that runs that bulb works the instrument panel and that works fine.
I have done a little of voltage checking, but i just got this ridiculously complicated Volt meter, so i doubt i was in the right setting, but ill read the manual and get back to you, to see if the plug even works, lol
But im current waiting on an adapter for the stereo that makes the Kenwood fit right up to the Nissan plugs, should be here tomorrow or Saturday (had it two day aired) so there is no hurry on this, but i would like to get it fixed as well.
Any instruction are very much appreciated!
Thanks
