Default No Back Lighting on 91 Vert

Hi guys, the instrument panel works fine but at night i can't see a thing as the backlighting does not come on. This condition exsisted when i got the car. I don't know if there is a relationship, but there was an aftermarket radio installed in the car and it was a terrible install. Pretty sure it isn't wired correctly as the antenna and radio power up only when the car is "ignition on" and not the "acessory position" on the key as what i'm accustomed to. Not to mention the Kenwood KDC-219 radio is loose and can be pulled out by hand at this point. Can this poor radio install have affected the backlighting ?
