Alright so heres the story. I have a 98 Stratus 2.4 my headunit had been dead for a while and I had a newer one layin around so I figured Id switch them out. Well I am a complete retard. Because after taking out the old one and plugging in the new one I had exactly as I thought the other one was hooked up I heard some clicking noises coming from the car and then my new headunit made a popping sound and smoke came out the back. So i quickly shut the car off and unplugged it and now my powerlocks on my doors no longer work. I also tried plugging the old headunit back in to see if i blew the power for that too and its lights which used to come on atleast no longer do. Any ideas on what I blew and if its difficult to fix? And what did I do exactly to blow all that up? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

Check the easy stuff first. Look for a fuse for the power windows and/or radio.

 

Congratulations!!! It should just be a fuse, but if you really did a number, you fried the wires.

 

Lol, yeah im a genius! Thanks guys ill check for some dead fuses first, lol I just noticed my dome lights are dead too so I must have blown a lot or fried some wires that come out of the fuse box to those parts. Hopefully its just the fuses.
