need help
After I relocated my radio down, none of my accessories (hid,power door locks,windows, radio, dome lights) work when the engine is off
All of the accessories work when the engine is running. my alarm does arm but the doors do not lock. i have moved the radio down a while ago, but decided to sell the aftermarket and put the oem on back in. after it was install it worked but i was trying to move the wiring around to make it sit nicer. now non of the accessories work. any thoughts?
oh and the ecu does get reset everytime i turn on and off the car. (trip/mileage goes to zero)

well if your trip mileage keep going to zero then you may have disconnected something or hooked it back up wrong. That means everytime you turn off the car your accessories like clock and radio have to be reset everytime. You lost your constant power to the accessories when the key is removed. Its like disconnecting your battery every time you park the car. I am not a guru about electrical work but I am sure thats an easy fix. Like Kuniboy said try the fuse and see if its fried but my guess is when you removed that radio you may have disconnected something else.
^^Agreed^^ check the fuse then I would suggest checking with a DMM to see what is and is not getting power when the car is on/off that will help you trace any wireing issues assuming the Fuse isn't bad
