Dash Lights = Car won't start?
A couple of days ago, I decided to finally get my dash and climate control lights working after like six months...and also go amber. After replacing the bulbs the lights still didn't work, checked all fuses, and they're all good...so I researched and found that it could be the dimmer switch, or possibly the head light switch. One possible easy fix that some tried was cleaning the head light switch...
So after I cleaned the head light switch and put it all back in the car...still no dash lights, but even worse...now my car won't start. I get the "clicking" from the starter, and jumping the car doesn't work either. I'm thinking that in my fumbling with the fuse box and wires under the dash, I might have loosened a ground wire???
Any help is appreciated...either on a solution to my dash lights or my car not starting.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help...
I looked at the fuses, they're all good. I'm really not as concerned with the lights anymore...just want my car to start. It's just frustrating because the car ran fine before I started messing with the headlight switch this afternoon...

I'm going to try a new dimmer switch to get the lights working...but I should probably get the car running other wise it's pointless. haha.
