    Please help !
    I was trying to install a shock sensor to the hood switch after having my catalytic converter stolen. I disconnected the connector in the left footwell to verify the correct pink wire for the hood switch. After doing this and reconnecting the plug, my central locking started flashing five times every time that I touch a door handle.
    I didn't add the sensor and put everything back together. The central locking continued to re-unlock 5 times every time I touch the handles.
    I disconnected the 12V battery for five minutes to reset. I locked and unlocked with the blade key.
    When I reconnected the battery the radio was dead. Now I have no radio, no heater blower, no AC.
    I disconnected the battery again for longer and nothing changed.
    Everything is connected as factory and I didn't change or install any alarm components.
    Any suggestions ?

    Central locking flashes 5 times every time it is unlocked by the handle. It operates normally when using key fob.
    Radio screen is completely blank.
    Fuse block doesn't list fuse for radio.
    Appreciate any info. Thanks !

    Does the car start? What's the voltage on your 12v

    Whats the "hood switch" pink wire? There's no sensing the hood is opened. No switch afaik. So not sure what wire you pulled off there but you obviously shorted it out and blew a fuse. Check all the fuses in the footwell were your at and in the black fuse box under the hood.
