I'm a little curious what this white box does? And I'm pretty sure you'd be in luck if you went to the junkyard (well, wait until the rain lets up I guess) for a reallllllly low price...if you know what I mean ;]

it lets your key out of the ignition.... i got one i can ship lmk

[ero714]

yea i would have gone to the junk yard but the rain. and i was changing my stereo and the gauge cluster light and the dash lights dont light up and im pretty sure that this is the problem.
Last time i went to the junk yard i didn't find any S13. what i was really hoping was for some one to be parting out there S13 that might have it

i dont know if it lets the key out of the ignition but thats not the problem. ive ran my car without it and didnt have a problem but i dont know, maybe. i was really hoping some one in SOCAL

I spent a lot of time trying to find out what it was but couldnt figure it out. so one day i found a thread and check my box and this is what i got

I had the same trouble and i looked at the board to see if there were any connections that were not making contact and all i did was get a small bronze wire and soldered both points and it works just fine now.

from the red spots righ

[MissShiftS13]

Well the picture is kinda blurry but yeah if those are the only two points not making contact then just run a copper wire from one to the other, i cant really tell but it looks like the same spot where mine went out.

[MissShiftS13]

If it works, you owe me a beer..lol... i drink Mississippi Mud by the way

just rip it out , i dont even have that lol.

[MissShiftS13]

But it controls the dimmer, when mine went out my gauge cluster would not light up at night... and im sure its the same problem he has.
