Dan,
First, the speakers should be self powered from the stereo (head unit) itself. I would start by checking 3 things. 1) Check that your stereo is not faded completely to the rear channel (as these speakers are usually connected to the front channel). 2) Pull the bottom vent (outside on your fridge) in the lower right hand side there is a bundle of wires and there is usually some male/female wire connectors holding the speakers together, make sure they are connected and not corroded. 3) Pull off speakers (easier than reaching in cabinet) and make sure connections are tight on the back of the speakers. I would do these in this order, as I have listed them in easiest to hardest.

As for the lights, I would get a volt meter and start checking for where your loss is. Sounds like it may be a bad ground?? I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to eletrical problems, so be patient, as I'm sure one of the experts (don't fail me now Forum Team) will be sure to chime in.
