Just installed my OBX headers. Go to turn on the car, no gauges work, power windows, locks, nothing. Not even headlights. Anyone know what's wrong?

edit: car runs, but nothing else works. battery seems to be fine too.

sounds like you might have burned up a fuseable link, they should be right around the battery and you can look in the top through the plastic and see if it is burned inside. there pretty cheap but you will probibly need to go to dealer. did you spark anything when you were doing header. like hit the battery terminal on alternator that will do it. good luck hope this helps

you should be able to look in and see it, fuseable links are not fuses, the normally black or green plastic with a clear top and you can look in and see wires. most the time there in a case by them selfs but look in all the black boxes under hood and you should be able to find it. it may be a bit of a pain to replace, it might be screwed in on the sides and you have to take the box apart a little to access it.
