Replaced a kenwood deck in my car with another radio...the ground, power, remote were cut at the same time. Apparently it grounded out quite a bit..cuz a lot of shieot doesn't work...here is the list:

Map lights, dome light, windows, door locks, keyless entry, make-up light and lastly..my speedo doesn't work. Now I have checked the fuses (all of them) and they are all cool. Could I have blown a relay or something? Also, when u hit my door lock button...hahaha..my turn signals come on!! PLS help me...this is on the 98 cobra...thanks

I'm sorry, LMAO, it's got to be a fuse or a fusible link. I don't think the interior is on a relay. (no offense, but LMAO, that sucks!) [worship]

Everything on the radio (except maybe the constant power to keep the pre-sets stored) is on a fuse, so it would blow long before the fuseable link.

Are you sure you accurately checked the fuses? Sometimes they can blow, but not look blown at first glance. You really need to test them with an OHM meter.

Well i didn't check with an ohm meter..but pulled every single fuse out and checked them. What confuses me is the oddness of what ISN'T working...and why when i hit my door lock button, my damn turn signals work??! [Mad]
