Dash lights out

I was trying to eject a cd that is stuck in my stereo and all of the sudden my dash lights went out. I cannot see at night. I need to know what is going on? Any suggestions?

I would start by checking fuses.

Thanks it was my fuses.

Glad to hear it. I love cheap, simple fixes !

I know that this was a while ago, but I was wondering if you or anyone else for that matter, knows which fuse controls the dash lights? I have been driving myself crazy checking fuses and I can't seem to find the correct one. My dash lights went out in the exact same fashion as your's did. Ejecting a CD! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Bump...still hoping someone can help!

C'mon guys! I can't be the only one with this problem! Or am I?...

I took the stereo out of my car recently, and ever since, I have dash lights only during the day. From what I have gathered, there is a plug on the stereo that controls the dash lights and if it is disconnected or tampered with, your dash lights will not work at night. WHO was the GENIOUS that designed this system??!! So if you install an aftermarket radio, be careful or you might be driving at night with no dash lights.
