your message totally said something different when i wrote my reply! lol

The stereo affects it because it's all on the same circuit. If you pull the dash fuse, you don't get any lights, stereo, or tail lights. A short on the stereo is essentially a short on that entire circuit.

I also resoldered the wiring harness and upgraded the electrical tape to shrink tubing (the original installer...me...did a shoddy job the first time), and tipped all the loose ends with shrink tubing. I made absolutely sure it wasn't shorting ANYWHERE on the wiring harness, and the problem is resolved.

I would suggest double checking the wiring harness before moving over to the dimmer switch (I originally though MY problems were from the dimmer switch too), because, as i said, you were messing around with the stereo to cause the problem...that's a good place to look for a solution.

BTW: this was on a 98 sentra...not the '92 as in my sig thing.
