1998 Honda Accord Dash/Radio has no Power

Hello I have checked all my fuses and there is still no dashboard lights or power to the radio.
I don't know what the problem may be and I need to know as soon as you can give me an update.
The original problem was that aftermarket radio was shorting out so I took evrything out and found out that all the electrical tape had dried out and they became loose which cause them to touch metal and short out. I re-taped them all but have no power to Radio, got up the next morning and the dashboard lights were out. I replaced the radio to the original Honda radio and still no light on the dash but I have interior lights and the clock works but there is no illumination there either. Please help so that I may fix theis for my wife so she can get off me. Thanks, Jarvis
