Stereo Stolen Now Nothing Works

[ilze09]

Hey, guys. This is my first time posting and I need some help.

A few months ago, someone broke into my car by cutting a hole in the convertible top and jacked my stereo. They ripped it out of the console and took off. I discovered this a few days later and while I was bummed about the loss of my stereo, I was moreso pissed about the new hole in my roof.

Well, the loss of the stereo and hole isn't the only problems. Now the wiring must be somehow jacked up as the inside lights in my car don't work, the RPM gauge doesn' work, and I tried putting my old stereo back in but it also won't work. I honestly have no idea what to do.

I'll admit that I'm a complete moron when it comes to cars. I own a '95 Chrysler LeBaron. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

It's all fuses.

Check the fusebox in the car and under the hood.

Could've scattered wires that connect to everything else while ripping out the stereo, I would assume thats what caused the fuses to blow if anything. If he changed it, why wouldnt it blow again once he turns the car back on?

its fuses, happens when the positive and negatives touch, they blow all the time if you dont tape off the wires

Gonna be a pain in the *** to go ahead and tape up the wires properly, although if he had an aftermarket radio its less likely it'd have important wires scattered, so maybe reinstall a CD player and check the wires left, try to find out where they go or tape them up, and THEN change the fuses.
