Covered in the FAQ for FC.

You wired the radio wrong or didn't cap off the red/black (lumination wire) behind the radio. Hopefully you didn't use the red/black as ground and burn up the light switch, but if the parking lights work and the dash lights don't; well... then you burned up the light switch as well.

then you probably blew the fuse.

fix the wiring, put a new fuse in and be done with it.

and why are you so lame that you must bump to hear that answer??/

Bumps are forbidden here in the 2nd gen tech section. Your bump has been deleted.
