Default problems with lighting...suggestions?

my front and rear bumper lights, reverse lights, and brake lights wont light up; this started happening after my cd player "blew up". i've checked fuses under the hood and in the fuse panel in the interior and couldn't find the problem? i'm deff. open for suggestions on this one.

I would start with making sure the illumination wire (orange) isnt touching anything for the cd player. Did you get a new player?

What do you mean by it "blew up?" Literally, or did it just stop working?

You probably hooked up the cd player wrong. If you took the cd player out, make sure you don't have any wires hanging anywhere. Especially the power wire - it might ground out against something. Check your fuses again. Buy a volt meter and start testing.

That's funny...The same thing happened here. I had stereo problems and now, one of my turn signals is out and my interior lights are all F'ed up. I replaced any fuses that looked faulty, but the problem didn't go away.
