Big Electrics Problem

all lights were working on my k10 until i put a new radio in the car, the only lights that work now are the headlights and indigators and the reversing lights, all the other lights ( sidelights,interior light,dash lights, rear brake lights ) arent working atal and have no clue whats going on and i dont know if its just a fuse or what but i have no manual to tell me where the fuse is located for these lights, just the headlight. so any help with this situation would be very helpfull at this stage as i dont know whats going on.
 
What year is your k10?
The cd players typically hook into your sidelights so they light up when the lights are on. They also normally run on the same fuse as your cig lighter and your interior light.
As to why your rear brakes lights have is a mystery. Possibly caught the wiring for switch on the pedal?
 
she's a 1991, the tape player that was in it lit up anyway without switching sidelights on so dont know if that's the problem and the new one is the same, it has its own light without switching my sidelights on. Hardly know where the fuses are for the back lights?
 
One thing i noticed when putting in a new radio was i needed more wires than the original had , so could it be possible you have disconnected an earth ? There may be more than one earth for all those lights ? If not you should still check some earth wires , a car 22 years old may need a little TLC here and there :p
