Qube instrument panel off until I turn the lights on

So, I did the DIY kit and followed the directions to a tee. It seems to work wonderfully...once I turn the lights on (won't illuminate when off). Also, it appears as though I can't use the + or - to do any dimming. Anyone have an idea as to what could be causing it? I tried to contact them but no joy.

My WAG is you have cross-wired the power supply tap. Instead of ON, you tapped the line to HEADLIGHT ON.

Just a WAG. Good luck!

Yeah sounds like you plugged the power into the wrong spade on the fuse box

I wish it was that. I checked, and it is on the ignition spade.

Sounds like a short, bad board, or crossed wire. Most likely the issue has been seen before. There are lots of these out there; I have installed 3. Try giving them a call. They know more about their product and historical issues then anyone here: 818.271.QUBE (7823).

Don't mean to piggy back off your thread, but how did you contact them to purchase the kit?

I've messaged them on FB a few weeks ago and have yet to get a reply
