1998 chevy s10 Head unit and dash display not working

You may have damaged the instrument cluster. The PCM has to receive a code from the instrument panel to start. Its part of the security system. Beyond checking fuses you are going to have to take it to a qualified mechanic with the proper diagnostic equipment. It sounds like you wired something incorrectly

1998 chevy malibu stopped running while i drove it. Wouldnt start back, dont think it is fuel pump what else could it be

Most common "won't start" problems are fuel and ignition. Check for spark to the plugs and check fuel pressure. Let me know what you find. There are too many other things to list until we know if it's a fuel or spark issue.

My dash on my 1998 chevy malibu went out as i was trying to install my after market deck. i dont know if the wires crossed or something just went out. i go to turn on my headlights and the dash dims and i...

Evidently, you shorted out something. Strange that the accessory / dash fuse hasn't blown. 1) Unhook the CD, tape all the loose wires and see if dashboard operates normally. 2) make sure you are hooking the CD yellow wire (battery) and the red wire (ignition) to the proper sources. A normal CD installation has nothing to do with the dash/ dimmer circuit.
