    Simultaneously.

    Tracing Haynes chassis wiring diagram shows the only common link is fuse#23
    15A. Where is this fuse located? what could have caused the circuit to
    break? Radio installation?

    Fuse location? under-dash fuse box?

    As for why it broke, a radio installation is a very good guess. Working
    around inside a tight dash it is very easy to short things to ground.
    There is a dash lights wire going to the factory stereo. Most
    after-market stereos have an input for this as well.

    If the installation was done by cutting the factory wires (ugh) and
    splicing them to the new stereo harness, it would be very easy to cause
    a short. It is also possible that the dash lights wire was left
    unconnected and allowed to dangle around in there just waiting for the
    opportunity to short to ground.
