I popped the front dash cover thing off, the one around the stereo and above the steering column, but my bass thing is still hooked up. when i started the car, my heating won't turn on nor will the radio work. what did i do wrong? i didn't touch any wiring or anything of the sort. please help.

Did you check your fuses yet?

Ouch! Okay, this is a freaky incident here. It is either related to taking off the panel (maybe by some freaky maneouvre you shorted the stereo wiring which may be related to the car heating). Pull out your owners manual and check the fuse for the radio if it is related to the heater. If it is......good chance as CFoote put it, check the fuses.

Good luck or as a Canadianne would say...Bonne chance!

I believe that'* probably the radio fuse....

silly me forgot about the whole fuse concept. and it'* what it was.
