Default HELP HELP HELP

I took my stock radio out to attach SNI to hook up an amp. I hooked the box up to the rear speakers. however i had to cut a few of the wires to figure out wich ones were the rear. i put all of the stuff back together EXCACTLEY how it came off and now my dash lights (for at night) will not come on unless i put the dimmer switch all the way up (wich turns all the interior lights on) and also my fog lights do not work now. Any ideas sugestions or anything?????

Well the wires are color coated so i know that they can not be wrong and not to sound like a smart *** but it does not take a rocket scientist to wire somthing like a radio. I am thinking that mabey it is just coincidence and that my dimmer switch is messed up. any more suggestions???

I didn't take you as being a smart ***...I know plenty of people that barely know where to put the gas in.I don't know how mechanically inclined you are. There is a dimmer wire that runs to the radio you didn't mix it up did you?

Check all your fuses and recheck the connections.

could there be more than one of the same color wire you might have got crossed?
Check everything again, and the connections of the wires etc...
