sounds like a fuse. did it start to smell like burning plastic? if not 99% it's ablown fuse in line or in your fuse block. sounds like fuse block look for radio or acc's in your fuse block diagram, real easy, just take your time

normally the dome light and stereo are on the same fuse, check the fusebox to see where the corresponding fuse is and replace

LOL check your fuses first. If it's not a fuse, there are two black boxes on the firewall on the drivers side close to the trans tunnel. The one on the left is the one you need to fix, IIRC. It likely shorted out and just needs some soldering. If your windows are also not working then this is absolutely the problem.

This is the best pic I have with the dash off. If you look closely in the middle and to the left of the trans tunnel, you can see the two boxes attached to the firewall.
