uber electrical problem
 

Im working on a friends car from work its a 99 accord. Break down on whats going on. She had a jackass guy install her radio but this idiot cut the main honda harness and just started connecting wires hoping he was right. I arrived and put a proper harness on the stereo and fixed his work properly. Now her tail light wouldnt come on and neither would the dash lights. thru a hell of alot of trouble and a lil luck i thought i had the problem solved, reset the ecu and found out a single bulb in dash blew out(the bulb with the black wire running to tach light). Im replacing those tomorrow and also found she had a blown blub in her rear so i took that out to and havent replaced it till tomorrow. Now after all this when she flips the lights on the rears dont work but brake lights still do. Im completely lost on this and really dont know were to go. It could possibly be a fuse i overlooked but if its not that then what. PLz help problem solve this biznitch, thanx

Sounds like a fuse...if not pull the radio back out and check for wiring that is either badly grounded or not hooked up. Next I would check power from the fuse box to the tail lights and so on...good luck.

your tallking about her rear running lights right? first check the fuse and if they dont work when you turn them on but the fronts still do, double check that wire harness cause you might have crossed a power wire and possibly grounded it, and there are connections beetween the switch and the lights, but and if the guy fucked up the harness, theres always the possibility of a fried wire somewhere in the circuit.....
