Running Lights/Dash Lights Not Working Please HELP!

i just got a 87 rx7 and had car toys install a new deck and noticed after they put it in my dash lights quit working along with my running lights but my head lights and brake lights still worked..anything you know of that could cause this or something they may have done?

QUOTED FROM THE FAQ:

Did you check the dimmer control??? If you did and they still don't work the light switch connections may have burnt out. Check the back of the light switch. If they are burnt, you will need to replace the light switch and light switch harness.

most likely the lightswitch. It's a quick fix. Just head to the junkyard and pick up a switch. It could also be a fuse problem though.

Check the fusebox on the driver's side near the pedals. If it isn't the fuse, it's the switch.

I had this problem a few years back. One of the connection behind the light switch had burnt up. Just went to the junkyard and replaced the wire connector. Look at the wires and see if any look burnt. That is after you check the fuses.
