You probably blew a fuse of knocked out a wiring harness during the install. Check the fuses first, if you don't see anything blown pull the radio back out and be sure all the wiring harnesses in the area near the radio are secure.

SOURCE: radio, windsheild wipers, power locks

The best thing to do is tuen the key on and teat all the fuses with a 12 volt test light. Replace any fuse that test bad.

1990 BMW 525i 2.5L engine overheats after rplaceing water pump, stermostat,fan clucth,radiator

There's trapped air in the cooling system.
  • You need to remove the bleeder screw on top of the radiator when adding water to the expansion tank.
  • With the engine running, pour water into the expansion tank till you see air go out through the bleeder screw's hole.
  • Just keep adding water until no more air bubbles come out then just put the screw back in place.
  • Then fill the expansion tank to it's normal level/line.

My windows and lock and windshield wipers are not working

New vehicles now have a CPU that controls everything. Removing a component like the radio will result in a confusing side effect of another.
If you put an after market radio in it's place it might not reconnect all the components needed for the CPU. You need to ask if there is a installation kit that goes with your specific make, model of vehicle when installing a aftermarket radio.

Windows, windsheid wipers and radio will not work

There should be a fuse box under the dash on passenger side. There are fuses to these and this is probably the issue. It may also be a wiring issue inside the fuse box.
