i just hooked up a cd player in my 98 ranger and now my dash lights and tail lights quit working does anyone have any ideas or helpful information

Usually with both those being out it means you have blown a fuse.

Yeah when I installed my Pioneer deck into my truck, I hooked up the dimmer wiring as soon as I turned it on the dash and lights stopped working.

After unhooking the Dimmer wire, check the light fuses, I think they are 15A fuses.

Does anyone know which fuse it is i don't have the owners manual

I don't remember exactly which one it was... but I know there is one under the hood and in the cab for lights. You can always just get a multi-meter and test the resistance between each one.

Get a 3 dollar test light from harbour freight and find it. Check both side of the fuse and if one is blown only one side of the fuse will light up.
