Default radio and dome light don't work

here's the deal- none of the lights on the stock radio work and it only plays fuzz, it won't change "stations". it worked fine yesterday, but when I turned the car on today, nothing came out but fuzz. I tryed replacing the fuze. But that didn't do anything. the dome light also doesn't even come on.

What might be the matter?

oh and I just realized - All the guage lights work. And it doesn't beep at me (i.e. not putting on seat belt, leaving lights on)

Use duct tape as a temporary fix. Try to get your hands on some electrical tape, 3M preferably or some wire crimp connectors.
