dash lights out! 4x4 doesn't work! help!

i didnt know where to post but i need help bad.

i have a 97 blazer 4door 4.3l. my aftermarket deck went out so i put a new one in. a turned on my truck and the lights on. but my dash lights woulnt turn on. i tried the dimmer knob and no luck. checked the fuses and they were all good. later in the day i tried to put in 4hi and i noticed then that those lights were lit up. tried to put it in 4hi and it didnt work. everything worked fine until i re-did the deck.

anyone have this problem? i need to get it fixed asap andif i can do it myself i would be much more happy. thanks

dunno about the electrical but if your t-case is still shifting then you can use some vise grips on your front diff vacum actuator, its under the battery just squeeze it and put on the visegrips so the cable wont loosen.

check your fuses. The 4wd switches and interior lights use the same fuse.

Hope this helps
