Bunch of small Electrical Issues after head pulled

[Clinical]

I'm really confused.

I pulled the head off my car due to a bad headgasket. Had necessary machine work done, new MLS gasket.. Also upgraded wastegate / bov /o2 housing / exhaust / a bunch more engine b/s.

Anyways, I never really touched anything electrical except related to the engine itself aside from two ground wires which are re-installed and disconnecting the battery.

#1 My brake light stays on as if my e-brake is always up now for some reason, never used to do that.

#2 Stereo doesn't turn on at all. Worked fine before.

#3 Turbo timer lost all saved settings (this is more understandable)

I'm mainly baffled at the brake light / stereo. Each were fine before and I'm just really confused. No blown fuses or anything.

Any ideas on what to check first?

my brake light also comes on every now and then although my brakes weren't engaged.
i still don't know whats causing it. my stereo and turbo timmer works tho.
just check the wiring maybe something is loose.

Kind of a dumb question.... But have you checked if you might have lost brake fluid somehow? Check to see if it is at proper level

Do your dome lights work? For brakes are you talking the tail lights or the EBrake dash light?

Also, you're in my Grandma's home town, w0rd.

Have you checked your fluid?

yes I'm fine on brake fluid

It used to flicker now and then when going over bumps (touchy e-brake sensor) and now its just on all the time. It isnt even the thing that bothers me most, its mostly my stereo >_<

and yeah dome light works

See if you have power at the fuse box for the radio. Then work your way back from there.
