Dash Lights

When I put my key in the ignition and turn it to acc or run, the lights for my dash and for the radio do not light up anymore. It's not until I turn the wheel or step on the brake that the lights come on (and not always after that). It's wierd becuase the radio will play, but nothing shows up of the screen. I didn't have this problem until I pulled apart my dash to paint the trim pieces or install an amp with the factory HU. I did both of those mods basically around the same time, then I started having this problem.

Anyone have a similar problem, or know where to start looking for a fix. I'm not sure if it something that I may have moved around the ignition switch or the radio wiring.

Thanks

did you check your fuses?

Haven't checked the fuses yet, but I didn't think that would be the problem if the lights come on eventually. The dash lights and radio just don't come on when I start teh car, after putting it in gear and driving the usually come on.... could it still be a simple as a fuse? I'll check tonight.

could be a faulty relay or bad switch to
