How do I fix the lights on the dashboard of my 1996 Mazda 626?

I installed a new cd player into my Mazda. The cd player is working now the dashboard lights went out. There were 3 live wires left. One of the wires read white light or illumination. The 3 live wires are now covered with electrical tape. Now the new cd player is installed. But somehow the dashboard lights aren’t working neither are the gear lights for park and reverse, etc.. It isn’t the fuse, I already checked that. Does anybody know what I need to do? Or have a wire diagram, I found two online so far that aren’t correct. Thank-you for your help!

What could cause the instrument panel lights to go out in my car?

I have a 93 Dodge Stealth and the other day the instrument panel lights just stopped coming on when I would turn on my headlights. The warning lights still work and the turn signal lights and everything, but none of the gauge lights come on at all. I’ve changed the bulbs behind the instrument panel, checked the dimmer switch, and the light activator switch. There doesn’t seem to be a fuse for them, so I don’t know what else it could be.
checked the tail lights…they all work and the fuses are fine.
what would you hook the ground wire to?
