Alright troubleshooters.....
I've gotta puzzle for ya. I installed an aftermarket radio in the zoom zoom the other day and was rewarded with one of the strangest situations I've encountered to date. I know what you're thinking, its not a girl thats interested in me, calm down!
I had the radio all wired in (spliced and rigged harnesses up) and it functioned correctly. I then unhooked the harnesses, seated the mounting hardware, and reconnected/seated the radio. Upon trying the radio after it was fully "installed", not only did the radio not work, most of the other things in the car didnt either.
The car starts and runs fine. The door lights and chime for having a door open no longer work. The door locks only work with the key in and to ACC or ON. The keyless entry no longer works at all. The radio itself does not work. The interior lights do not work at all. The diagnostic port does not have power, so I can not use my scan tool.
WTF BBQ?!?
I have checked all fuses I can locate and none are blown, including 10A inline fuse in radio harness. I disconnected battery for a bit and reconnected, no change. I unhooked new radio, no change. Installed old radio, no change.
Someone, anyone, wtf is going on here?

Plug the stock radio in and check to see what works.
