    sounds like a blown fuse to me...

    check all the fuses and hope you havent fried your ecu!

    one cause could be shorting behind the stereo if you did a bodgie job wiring the H/U

    Yeah, sounds like a big short has caused a fuse to go up in smoke. I'd be less worried about finding the fuse, and more worried about what caused it to blow in the first place :p Sounds like a pretty major wiring issue!

    Start with the things you have worked on most recently, and work back from there.

    i think ozzie has hit the nail on the head with the radio. Had this once when a wire from the radio was left uncovered. Just takes a bump in the road for the wire to arch out on some metal and pop goes your fuses - good luck with the ecu.
