My tail lights and dash lights out how to fix?

i changed the radio in my dodge Dakota and after i did my tail lights and dash lights quit working. There was a wire hook up to the Factory radio that made it dim with the dash now that i have the new radio there is no place to hook it up to. I changed all fuses dealing with the tail lights and dash and still they do not work so what do i needa do with the wire that used to be on the factory radio because it looked like it was hooked to a ground so do i just need to ground it? or do i needa run it to a fuse and if so how do i do this?My tail lights and dash lights out how to fix?Doesnt sound like they would connect the radio with the tail/dash lights but ..First you need to get a simple( test light) you can get it at autozone or other auto parts store...then turn your ignition key on so your radio and all accessories work,,,then insert the test light into the end of that wire and see if it has power running to it...if it doesnt then it was a ground wire and you can go ahead and ground it...

see if it works after that...I know the truck has a fuse box inside with fuses....also there maybe a relay or fuse outside under the hood in the main powerbox....you may want to check
