Hi, I've finally gotten all the connections wired up to my new car radio except one wire.

In the manual (for a '93 civic dx), the red/black wire is for the "light-on signal".
What does "light-on" mean?

My car radio's wire set has two wires leftover labeled "power antenna" and "panel light".
Are "light-on signal" (the wire on the car) and "panel light" (the wire from the radio)
the same things?

I think "panel light" means the dash light dimming...

thanks for the help.

bump neone???

 

My best guess would be that the "light on" signal wire recieves a signal from the headlight circuit to tell the radio that your head lights are b/c sometimes the lights on the radio change when you turn the headlights on. Like on my mom's accord whenever you turn on the headlights the display dims.

 

hey,

that sounds about right. thanks for the reply. i don't think i need it.
