DIC and Rear Speakers

So, I just recently finished putting in a Sony Head Unit into my 2000 GT and now I can't troubleshoot these two problems for the life of me.

1) The DIC doesn't illuminate. I know that it was working prior to putting the stereo in, but now nothing. It used to go on when my headlights did, but now nothing. I have been thinking about it, and it seems like there was a wire in the harness that was labeled Illumination, and the harness from the Sony deck did not have one. Since there was no match I didn't do anything with it. Could that be the problem? I had just assumed the wire was for the stock radio dimmer.

2) Prior to even installing the deck I noticed that my rear speakers only worked part of the time. Sometimes I can get just the left rear, sometimes just the right rear, sometimes both, and a majority of the time neither of them. Now I have read a little bit about how they factory speakers blow fairly easily, but there is no crackling/humming/etc. Are there any ideas as to what might be wrong?
 


Dont know about the DIC, but I know it is an illumination wire issue.

As for the speakers, they just stop working. Its just how they go. Switch them both with something good. Its nothing with the wiring for sure.
 
Had the same issue with my 97 GTP's speakers this week, pulled them out and put in new kenwoods and its golden now.
