Default Help..Replaced 2 oxygen sensors, now having some problems with dash lights and more

Hello, my CEL was on and I took it to autozone to run the OBD and found out I needed 2 new o2 sensors (bank 1 sensor 2, and bank 2 sensor 2) I found some DIY guides on here and replaced them with bosch parts.

Now the car starts, but none of the lights on the dash work, none of the guages, power windows, moonroof, radio, clock. I went to try to drive the car but it won't allow you to move out of park. All of the fuses look to be ok. Not really sure what to do from here or what the problem is if anyone can help.

One thing I was thinking about was we did not disconnect or ground the battery prior to doing the install of the new 02 sensors. Any help or info would be much appreciated.

Of course you already know that you should have disconnected the ground. That was the first problem.

The second is the fact that you used bosch which you shouldn't have used. I would try to get a refund goto sparkplugs.com and get some denso or ngk sensors (factory oem) which will work.

Have you cleared the codes? If not pull the - cable for a few minutes then reinstall it and fire it up and see where that gets you

Your fuses arn't ok. You must have popped one or two. Look at all the fuses under the hood, even the big ones nearest to the battery and in the cabin (I assume the IS has them in the cabin too?) . The reason you can't get out of park is because power to isn't getting to the solenoid that allows you to move the shifter out of park (there is an over ride to this, but that's not really the issue).
