Lots of electric problems

[Goblin]

After installing my new exhaust I fired up the car to take if for a spin and I've got mad issues now.

The following things do not work:

Windows (sun roof works though.)
locks
seats
stereo

and when I turn on the head lights they don't turn off and the HORN comes on and doesn't turn off... until I pull the battery.

No blown fuses either.

Hmmmm, you screwed something, if all you did was an exhaust job and now all this crap is happening. I would inspect everywhere that your hands went under that car. That is - check out around everyplace that the new exhaust parts are to see if you pinched, or burned, or accidentally broke a wire or plug connection. Retrace all your steps. That's the best advice that I can give without seeing it myself.
.....Hope that you get lucky and find the problem right away. Let us know!!!!!

I chopped my 2nd O2 sensor so all of the exposed wires were mashed together and I forgot to soder them back to the sensor...

I'm hoping that's what it is. I hope that is the circut that is screwed up. I just have to HOPE my car runs so I can get to work monday .

I would check the alternator fuse, I know you said you checked the fuses, but I had the same problem when I blew that fuse.

 

[Goblin]

double checking never hurt anyone...

On my way out to sodder the sensor back on, I'd like to think that's where my open/closed circut is.

 

[Goblin]

Yeah, the alternator fuse was toast, I don't know how I missed it, I looked right at it twice! I'm so pissed at myself .

I sodered the O2 sensor too, but haven't started up the car. I'm going to head to the store and get a new fuse.

I'll post when I'm at 100%

Thanks Redman, Laserblue

Yeah, everything works perfect now, I just have to deal with that phucking CEL from the O2 sensor.

 

[92redman]

the check engine light should shut off after a couple of good trips, meaning the computer tests it to see if it is working after a warm up cycle usually. Or you could try the hack way and just unplug the battery for a couple hours so the computer gets reset.

The CEL wasen't on while I was driving it, it came on when I pulled it into my garage to park it for the night. I'll give it a week before I start to care.
