Radio, dome light, rear defrost ALL DEAD

[gholt44]

Hey everyone im new to this but i own a 99 G20 and the other day my battery died. My buddy tried to do me a favor by jumping the car for me while i was in class and he hooked the jumpers up backwards and killed my battery along with my fusible link. I just finished replacing the fusible link (pain in the @ss by the way) and now my radio/cd player, rear defrost, and interior lights all do not work. I have checked fuses and still can't figure it out.

HELP!!

Did you check all the fuses? In the engine bay and interior?

^^^^^^^+1

Most people forget to check the ones in the engine bay. Definitely sounds like a fuse problem.

I pulled all of the fuses under the hood and inside the car and tested them with the spares that i had one-by-one. Still nothing. Oh and I just realized today that my power locks dont work either. Could it be a relay somewhere? Or is something really screwed here?

Could be some fires fried together...

Get a voltmeter and put on the resistance setting to hear audio when you have a connection...

Put one side on the positive terminal, the other side to another positive in your car and see if you hear noise..

Start by checking wires going from battery, into engine bay fuse box (BOTH SIDES, the side of it going from the battery into fuse box, and the side going from fuse box to rest of car)

If you fail to get audio on one.. replace corresponding fuse.If you get audio on all of them, go into the interior where your fuse box is.

Pull a fuse, check for power (One side will have power in, one side power out, if you dont get audio, check the other side of the plug where fuse goes in).. if you have power on the fuse you pulled, do the same thing with audible alert and make sure you are getting connection to all other fuse spots.. If you are, all should be well..

Double-check your fusible links and make sure they're all hooked up properly!!!!

IIRC there's another group of fuses in the driver's area of the cabin. I want to say lower left portion of the dash assembly kind of on the upper left side of the footwell.
