you should have 3 wires that control your power
Yellow
Red
Black
Black is ground obviously.
Yellow is the constant B+
and Red is a switched B+ when the key is in accessory or run position.
what model civic do you have? you should check your wiring, the fuse on the back of the deck, and then the fuse in your fuse panel.

Re: Stereo Issues.
Are you using a proper wiring harness to do the install or are you cutting and splicing? There should be no issues if you're using a proper harness. You should also NOT be splicing ANY wires into the dimmer switch/circuit.
