Answer
Hi Matt,

I'm not sure what caused your problem, but I'd definitely double-check the fuses.  The dome light failure is a clue, because often the radio's memory wire and the dome light circuit are powered through the same fuse.  According to my information, you'll want to look at fuse #8 and #12 in the fuse box on the driver's side dash end-cap.

Hope this helps!
