Default new battery

so i just installed a new battery and i think i did everything right and put all the wires the way it was with my old battery but i guess i didnt since my radio isnt working and my power door locks arent working. My alarm is connected to the door locks and the alarm works fine but for some reason the power door locks wont work and my radio. im guessing i messed up with the wiring? can anyone tell me what wires i messed up or what i should double check. i have a aftermarket radio too

check your fuses

when putting battery terminals on it's easy to blow a fuse

Does the battery light stay on when the car is running?

if your sure you connected back the terminals correctly then most likely its the fuse. i'm assuming only the radio and the power locks doesn't work and everything electrical is fine

I checked all the fuses including the one in the back of the stereo. None of them are broken. Everything else electrical works just not my radio. It was working fine with my old battery
