1997 GMC Sierra C1500 No dash lights no tail lights
 

I am having an issue with my 1997 GMC Sierra C1500 No dash lights no tail lights. I did get into a minor accident the other day and wires were damaged behind the bumber. I repaired all the wires looked for a broken ground but I was unable to locate one. All the lights work when I use the remote starter but as soon as I press the break to put it in gear they all go out like it I had just the daytime lights on no matter what position the switch is in. Anyone have any thoughts?
