Mystery electrical malfunctions since theif ripped out my CD-changer !!

Some bandit ripped out the CD changer from the trunk of my 1994 Q45 (Sony 10-pack.) Seems they also may have yanked some wiring and attached ECM's.

Now I have an odd assortment of electrical malfunctions :-Bose radio and the heater both lose their settings if ignition is turned off for more than a few minutes.Central locking doesn't work (from inside or ouside)Clock doesn't run.Windows don't work, except for the driver's window when using the switch on the driver's door panelAir bag warning light stays on.Passenger seat controls won't operate.

BTW - It looks like the cell-phone control module is missing from under the rear parcel shelf, in the trunk.

So far, no-one can come up with a connection between these problems.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated !!

almost sounds like the main fuse is bad...... perform a search, if you cant find it ill help you search.

Hi Wes, and thanks for responding:

Is there a main fuse some place that would affect only the components I listed? If so, I don't know where it would be located.

My advice is to check them one by one. My anti-theft, radio, and clock went out on me over the weekend and the only fuse that was blown was the clock. I still don't know how the clock fuse could effect the radio and alarm.

I agree. Any number of circuits could have shorted when the CD was stolen (wires cut?). There's only 2 fuse boxes in the Q so start with the easy stuff- pull and check each fuse for continuity with a multimeter, don't rely on eyesight. If you don't own one it can be purchased at Radio Shack, Wal Mart, etc. for around $15. Good luck with the gremlins.
