Default x300: More NO Lighting work!

Hello again to all!

Here I am again with this problem:

Recently my mecano to install a car radio
and miraculously the lighting of the ceiling light and courtesy mirror as well as doors work again

BUT

the courtesy mirror is down right I disassemble and rouve a cut wire
I solve it

and there:

More NO Lighting work!

I confess that I don’t understand anything and it annoys me a little bit

I have with manometer, checked the fuse box and those under backseat
they are all ok

So S.O.S. !!!!

Thank you all for your help!
(ps: I have a x300 3.2 from 1996 and do not own the booklets)

In the late 95 or early 96 dependent on the VIN # there was some changes to the exterior lights and may have involved the interior lights , researching

There is some grounds on the interior lights ( dash lights that I know of ) that may have been disturbed on stereo moving around install , there is 2 pins on the stereo that may have been reversed to ground ( but this would be expected to blow a fuse

With no manual over ride to full bright on the control panel............................

For a fuse diagram see page 17 and on , the # 1 fuse is closest row to the fuse box terminal post

Coming along with stereo connector map , the 2 question marks are the stereo head internal lights that I never updated after learning

Just unplug the stereo head to test this

Good evening

Frankly, I don’t think it’s coming from the radio
because, it is not the original radio, and it worked well before I deface the sun on the passenger side, that I find a cut wire and that makes everything "jumped" by putting it back

Frankly, I did not!

See page 120 and 123 for a 96 and note the VIN # effectivity in the bottom right corner of the print

Separate out your effected lights

The BPM at the passenger side behind the glove compartment is not square / accurate on the connector map , ensure the connectors are on but that is a job , pic coming

To remove the BPM from the rack , remove the large black button " Christmas tree "
trim fastener with a trim removal tool or whatever you come up with
