why don't you just replace all the dash wires.
this way you don't have to cut anything.

I think, I'll abuse this thread for my problem, rather than starting a new one.

I did my magic on senna89's Accord and installed a digi dash. As starting point I had the digi dash with plugs and pigtails and apart from that a cutted loom. With the wiring diagrams I worked my way through this mess and separeted the wiring that exits the control box from the rest of the raped loom, repinned the original connectors at the back of the cluster and soldered the cut wires back together. Now I'm ready and everything works fine - except for the display backlight.
I now have two questions.
On the control box there was a seconds little yellow plug, which I couldn't find in any of the wiring diagrams. Where does it belong to?
In between all these junked up wires there was a little black box, "IllumiController" or something like that was written on it. This one isn't shown in the wiring diagrams either. Is this not installed box maybe the reason for the not working display lights?

It's an original Accord digital dash. It was taken from a CA-Accord with climate control and automatic transmission.

Dearly not... I forgot to wire the heater curcuit, but after I did neither of both worked... Not the back light and not the LCD anymore. Before you could see the LCD working, but now you can't anymore.

I changed the dimming switch as well, changed the illumi-controler. Nothing helped.
But I didn't found out where the little yellow plug ontop of the big one on the control unit is for.

To bad we only had this f***ed up loom to work with :argue:
