OK so I bought a new Kenwood radio for my 2004 Buick Century. My brother and I started working on it today trying to get it to work. First, we started having trouble getting the display on the radio to show up (we eventually figured this out, so this is no longer the problem). But anyway, at some point during the process, my car died, so we had to jump it to get it to start. At this point, we realized we had to drive somewhere. The speedometer worked for a few minutes, and then it just died. Now, the entire Instrument Cluster is not working, I cannot unlock the car with my little keychain unlocker thing, and there is no power to the radio. The car runs fine, but it just seems like several parts of the car aren't getting electricity or something. The lights still come on on the intrument cluster, just the gauges do not work. PLEASE someone tell me what's wrong with it and how much it would cost to fix it. I'm just afraid I might have destroyed something vital in my car.
 
its a fuse. If you hooked up the radio wrong that's why its blowing all those fuses i would un hook the radio and figure out where the short is.
 
Your new radio draws alot more power than the old one. When you put in the new radio you overlaoded the circuit and the fuse finally blew.
