S13 wiring issues

[towlie]

Alright this problem just came up recently and I'm stumped.

Wiring up a boost gauge and now my dash is acting up.

I first used the wrong wire (radio source), red/black. Led backlighting wasn't coming on so I figured out I didn't have a 12v source, re soldered it to the blue/black (grounded to under dash mount) and that's working now.

(That's when the problem started)

Now the dash clock and over head light won't come on.

I can see the back lighting for the clock come on, but no numbers. Also when I turn off the ignition the open door and ebrake lights stay on, I have to remove the neg batt cable to turn them off.

The tach works,as do the seat belt sliders. Battery and alt are new. (recently did a battery relocation but that seems to be working as normal)

On the ignition there was a problem where the key would stay locked in after turning to "off" position (would use a screw driver to push the little locking tab up to remove the key), I unclipped a small brown plug coming out of the ignition and that fixed it.. Tried plugging it back in to see if that would make a difference but it didn't do anything.

Checked ALL fuses (yes kick panel aswell) they are all good. Removed everything next to the dash itself, all wires and connections look fine an are secure, nothing found fried etc. removed my ecu and checked the upper dash connection, it hasn't budged.

Car starts/runs normal, just no clock and overhead, also it no longer beeps at me when I leave my keys in the ignition with the door open.

No radio/amp or anything like that, gauge was a basic stack wired with 18g.

Ideas??? I'm lost
