I Have a 91 300-ZX Turbo. The Dome light Bulb blew. I mistakenly tried to put in the wrong replacement bulb. I'm thinking somehow I blew a fuse because the radio goes on, but the antenna won't go up and the Hicas light is on. The car has been perfect. It's really weird that all of this happened at the same time. The antenna doesn't even try to go up and it's a new one.

Has the stereo been changed? Often people ground aftermarket stereo's to the illumination circuit causing all sorts of issues. If the hicas light is on check the power steering fluid level, remember dexron type atf only!

It's the original Bose system it came with.

In that case you might need to take out your fuse box. It's actually completely removable from the harness unlike most other cars. There is a loom that comes down from the outside and can let water into the fuse box causing corrosion on the inside, you can take the box apart and clean up all the corrosion, or maybe just find a good used box from a salvage yard or partout.
