Default Need Help !! Tail lights and dash not working

I got A 1991 Cherokee 4.0 manual trans. I recently changed the radio and my dash and tail lights won't work I checked the wiring in the back and when I put power to the orange and black wire (radio or dash luminous) and tail light work and dash also. All fuses are good but one and that's for the instrument panel no power on both sides but when I connect the orange wire it has power.. Don't know what to do now any help will be nice thank you

Replacing switchs and checking for power in and out of switch too different thing.

I'd be leaning toward the last work done. Unplug the radio and see if it still happens
