My battery had a dead short in it which caused my transmission not to shift properly. The give away was that I checked to see if the altnator was putting out and it was not but the engine light was not telling me it was bad. I put a new battery in it and then the altnator stared putting voltage back in the battery. I had a dead short in the battery. The transmission worked fine after I changed the battery. Another problem was the fan for the air conditner and the windows would not work except when the battery charge was conected. This was my first time to see what a dead short in a battery would do. Hope this helps others with this problem.
u blew ur fuse look the fuses under dash replace the ones u blew n u more likely blew 1/2/3-4 under dash to check them u sent back current thru live wires n grounded wires that arent suposse to have juice going thru to etc. u may even zap ur altnator the few times ive crisscrossed them i fried altnator or fuse but thats what fuses are meant for to much of one or another current to it zaps cuts off electricity going to so it dont zap it protects the main area from being fried so easily
IF YOUR BATTERY LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME THAN CHANCES ARE THE ALTNATER IS FAILING. WHAT I WOULD DO TO TEST THIS AT HOME IS START THE CAR, REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLES IF THE CAR DIES THAN THE ALTNATER IS ON IT'S WAY OUT. IF THE CAR STAYS RUNNING TURN THE HEAD LIGHTS ON IF IT SLOWLY STARTS TO DIE SAME THING THE ALTNATER IS GOING. OR IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU CAN DO THAT YOU CAN GO TO YOUR LOCAL AUTO ZONE AND THEY CAN TEST THE STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM FOR FREE. TRY THAT AND GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPED.
I would check the wiring on the radio. Lot of cars (especially nowadays) the electricity like the lights and raido is hooked on there. If any of the wires went bad, or maybe even the radio would make it cause that.
So just remove the pannel around the radio
unbolt the radio
Pull the radio out and check all the wiring.
If the wires are not bad, maybe check to see if the radio is working.
