Tonight I was wiring in a digital pressure gauge and hit a problem after
instal was complete. When I turned on ignition switch all seemed well.
Warning lights came up and climate control illuminated. But when I turned on
the headlights, the IC didn't light up and the lights on the climate control
went out.

I took the 12V for the digital gauge from the cigarette lighter harness and
wired in a switch. On Canadian spec S6 with Delta radio the cigerette
lighter socket is just south of the gear stick - different to at least on US
spec S6.

The IC fuse is OK.

Any thoughts on what is casuing the problem? I did stick my hand in behind
the climate control unit to reach in for a nut I had dropped in . Could I
have dislodged a connector or something?

TIA
