i was changing my clock bulb late last night and all of a sudden my car starts but doesnt shift out of park. it doesnt seem to be showing some things like...the srs light, the brake light, and some other ones on the instrument cluster. the cluster lights up when i turn the headlights and the key light and the battery light seems to be the only things that light up on the cluster. the power door locks work but not the power windows. the headlights worked at one point but i believed blew out. i dont know if i short circuited something because ive been having problems with my FUSE BOX from day one...what do you guys think??? any info is appreciated??? thanks in advance

check ALL your fuses. Even you dont think it has anything to do with the problem, get back at us after you do that.

i know this may sound retarded, but if you removed those two wiring harnesses that connect to the clock assembly, did you remember to plug it back?

I forgot to re-plug one while I was installing my headunit, and my left front speaker, power windows, didn't work.

^^^^ its not the two harnesses on the clock that could be the problem. i have ran both on and off and they dont affect anything except the clock on one and the blinkers on the other

i checked my fuses and they all seem to be fine from what i see...i had a couple problems when i first recieved the car...the headlights were not working correctly because the previous owner tried to put foglights on and jacked something up...also the cooling fan relay was jacked too because of the dude put a gm fuse from what i saw in the handbook at autozone into the spot...ill check the clock connections again...any info on this is greatly appreciated by all members...ill keep u guys posted
