Default Strange electrical problem

Hello,

I own a 1999 Lexus ES300. I was screwing around with the radio trying to do an upgrade. I may have crossed some wires. I put the original radio back in the car and now my radio, turn signals, and rear tail lights aren't working. I check all of the fuses and everything seems fine.

Any idea what could be causing this?

have you checked the engine bay fuses and the ones by the drivers side ?

I went through them as well. All seem okay. Any chance I burned a fusible link at the + battery terminal? This is a really Odd. As a side note my cruise control didn't work prior to my messing with the radio. Also the airbag light is flashing (was doing this prior as well).

I changed my lower motor mount today. I was jacking up on the engine with a floor jack. Maybe I knocked something loose?

I figured out the rear tail lights and turn signals ...I had the middle air duct popped out (the one with the hazard light switch). I put it back in and the turn signals worked. The tail lights were just blown bulbs. I didn't suspect the bulbs were bad because they were working fine a couple days ago.

Soooo ...I just have a radio that won't turn on. Is there a reset process for the radio?
