Exclamation New Guy

Hey guys.

I'm new obviously. I recently picked up this SC300 5 speed. I love it! It's a little rough around the edges but easily fixable.




Anyways, as was driving home from work and the bettery light came on. It has a brand new battery and alternator on it. Anyways turns out the alternator fuse blew up. So I changed it and got it to run but as of now my running lights, radio, gauge cluster or windows do not work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Cam

That's what I was thinking, thanks. I'm a Volkswagen guy at heart so I have one question; Are all of the fuses for the vehicle located under the hood?

Problem is not resolved. I put a new fuse in with battery disconnected and it still blows when i hook up the battery. Nothing works.
