i went out wheeling the other day wound up getting stuck cause my vac line came unpluged and couldnt fix it out there had the wosrt time getting out im driving out of the trail it was dark my mom told me my back lights werent working checked the fuse its fine could something have happened during this whole ordeal that would cause them not to work also my guage lights stoped working a couple of weeks ago if that helps any

 

Never hurts to recheck all related fuses and make sure they didn't burn up.

Bulbs could be dead, check those. Make sure the bulbs are inserted properly and didn't get bumped loose.

Not sure about the dash panel. :\ Sorry.

 

Did you install an aftermarket stereo recently?

 

last year but i dont think its wired corectly i had to use my harness out of my old ford ranger

 

Check your wiring behind the stereo, you may have the dimmer circuit for the factory radio shorted to ground.
