I just installed a new radio and electrical antenna. Aftermarket antenna. Everything was working great and antenna beatufully. So I started my car for the first time and. Now I'm getting really strange electrical problems. Almost all the electronics in the car arn't working now. The guages, windows, stereo antenna just quit and the engine is really sluggish to start. Have I accidentally drained the battery too much or is it something worse?
Initially the radio was working, then I pressed the break pedal and the radio shut off!! I just made a 20 minute trip in the car in attempt to recharge, but still same problem The battery looks pretty old too |

Who would have thought the fuse labeled "Guages" connected to the windows? |

the "gauge" fuse connects to A LOT of unexpected things. like reverse lights, seat belts, ABS, Antennae, seat belt warning, gauge lights, horn, cruise, and windows.
