illumination problem

[oneflow]

It seems that the illumination button to the left of the steering wheel is no longer functional. Also I can't remember if the steering wheel buttons light up or buttons on the stereo but neither have any glow. The speedometer still works but it is bright and I can't dim it. Seems like the car doesn't notice when the headlights are on anymore and there for doesn't dim. Anyone have any idea? i checked the button and it seemed fine. I installed a few things lockpick 3, dvd and siruis but i don't see what affect that would have.
Thanks

I read some posts and i think i know the problem. I grounded the dvd player to the wrong cable i grounded it to the illumination wire and not the ground wire. The alliumination whire is green and it looks like i wanted brown. I will check and let everyone know

ok the illumination works again. I couldn't tell if any of the buttons on the mdf, stereo or wheel were on but i think thats hard to see in the day any ideas?

after replacing a fuse and fixing the ground wire everything is fixed

I did something similar and blew that dome fuse to much the same result. I was going to suggest that, but I see you already figured it out. As for the buttons on the mdf, stereo and wheel, yes, those are impossible to see during the day.
