Dash lights always on

Heres a good one for you lot.

I installed a nokia ck7w at the weekend using new mini stuffs mute interface adaptor for the boost radio. Works fine with the exception that the dash board lights are always on now!!! Any one else had this happen?

I've not seen this problem before - have you tried removing the passthrough phone interface to make sure its not that?

Sounds like a crossed wire
Can you ring me while in the car so I can go though the wires with you

I'll try taking out the phone interface for now. It's plugged in inline with an ice link interface. The order goes Radio (Boost) - Ice Link Interface - Phone Interface - Cars original loom. Can you see any problems there? The actual phone system works great!

ok, I've had some time to take out the various looms involved. With the phone kit loom in place the dash lights and accent lights come on as soon as the ignition is turned on, this is the same wether or not I fit it before or after the icelink loom. With just the ice link loom everything works fine, and its the same (fine) without either loom. So it looks like its the phone kit loom thats casing the lights to come on. Any one any idea? Or should I just let Mikey have it back to have a look at it? After he's put his new born down that is!

Mikey himself is really busy at the moment with his new born But I'm sure if you ring the shop they'll sort it for you (either over the phone to sort it quickly yourslef, or sorting out a replacement)
