Question
I have a 2002 Kia Sportage and wanted to replace the radio myself.  I cut the wires and as a result of my changes my interior lights no longer work, nor does my alarm and power locks.  I think I messed up big time.  I plan to check the fuses (learned from reading other articals) but would like to know if it could be someting else if the fuses are not blown.  Plus I am having trouble finding the power wire. Thanks for your time.

Answer
i agree about you messing up. your best bet, no headache solution is if you can, put wiring back as much as you can together, and let a system installer do it for you. you easily could do thousands of dollars damage to the electrical system with one wrong move....
