I want to take a single wire from the radio connector plug, or from the rheostat black/yellow wire itself so it can work properly. Is this possible?
I tried everything and nothing worked until I removed the entire dash and inspected every single plug where that green/white wire went. It might not even be the hot side, it could be the ground (black/yellow) that shorted on the switch only. However, that wire is also shared throughout all the connectors in the dash.
