Default Lights went out??

Last night I pulled my off road roof lights out...

I pulled the ground wire str8 from under the counsel, I just ripped the ground out.

Then the speedometer and such cluster went out.
The AC lights went out too.

So it was all black instead of lit up.


Then Later on I noticed my tail-lights are off.


What would of caused this?
I checked the fuses and only the Overhead Dimmer was bad.


I took the panel off and looked where i ripped the wire, nothing else was messed up, I don't see how this happened.


Also my 4gage amp wire hit the ground last night in the back and shut everything off, but i'm not sure what problems that would cause....




Someone help please...

Sorry, but had to. Sounds like you have more of a problem then just a fuse. By blindly ripping a wire out who knows what other wire(s) or connection(s) you may have disturbed.

It was the only wire there, It was just the ground. I don't see how it did anything.

It was a loose speaker wire that was just recently put there, so it wasn't like a hard pull, I took it apart today and nothing was wrong. so...

What could it be then? Any ideas?
