Well, I managed to put my battery in backwards... I was rushing, and forget to double check which way it was :(

The car is a GSL-SE, stock, about 80k miles... All the fuses and links are good...

My interior lights (dome and map), all warning buzzers (except redline), speakers, and clock don't work anymore.

The odd parts are that the clock works fine if the running lights or headlights are on... And the radio still powers up and the antenna goes up, just no sounds what so ever.

Any knowledge or assistance here would be very helpful, let me know if you need any more info, or if I should check something else...

I have a parts car I can pull parts off of, and I can get a hold of most diagnostic tools I don't have on hand...

start by checking EVERY fuse in the fuse panel... good chance you blew a handful of them.. it's a 1st gen.. not a shitload of stuff that you can actually fry on them.

Check the fuses and let us know what you find.

Like I said, all the fuses are good, I pulled and checked every single one. An odd update though, the clock shuts off if the door is open... The backlight stays on, but the numbers go away.

I did this in my early rotary days... Did u say that the car still runs? I had a 84 gsl. Smame thing crossed the cabels. Fucked the ecu type thing. Even though it was 12a and carb application. For all the sensors and other silly ****

Yea, the car still runs just fine, all the gauges still work and everything but what I mentioned in the first post still works great.
