Default 98 GS300 A/C, Stereo, Clock Out, also stuck in park

Guys I need help as I have a 98 GS300, and When I bought the car it had no radio so I pulled a stock radio from a junk yard
and as soon as I plugged it in, the climate control, clock, and radio were off, and the car was stuck in Gear 1
because I moved it there to fit the radio. I manually moved it back to Park but it will only go if I insert something in the Emergency slot.
I checked all the small Amp fuses and they all were fine, I did not check the big ones as I do not know how to. Please help, thanks.

Check your fuses again. Its definitely the fuse. The fuse that controls all of that including the brake release is on the same circuit. Its on the driver side fuse panel next to the parking brake.

I promise

Well Mr Jokster, you were right, that damn fuse tester lied to me. I pulled it out and that baby was gone. I probably checked the radio 1 fuse the first time as I know I pulled out a fuse.

Sweet. At least you found it Its always best to remove the fuse in its entirety to be completely sure whether its blown or not
