clock, stereo & high beams not working
So, I changed my starter yesterday (woohoo, my car consistently starts now). But right after I did it, the clock & stereo are intermittent and they seem to be working less and less often.
I checked the lines on the starter and none of them are touching anything else, and they're all tight. I disconnected the battery when I changed the starter, and nothing eventful happened.
It's cold out, 12 degrees F. out side haha xD So any ideas would be nice.

Bump
Could it be the front ecu or the red box that's behind the fuses under the dash? I don't know what else it could be. I've check the grounds, all the fuses and made sure all the wires/connections look okay and everything looks fine...

Na that is the same fuse box.
Is your radio/clock just not working completely or is it intermittent.
With fuses it either works or it doesnt work. If it is intermittent then it isnt a fuse issue its probably a wiring/grounding issue

Well originally it was intermittent. Maybe for like two days? Then it stopped all together. It happened literally the first time I started my car after replacing the starter?

Yeah that's really strange man. Not too sure what it could be if you said you checked all the fuses and wires.
I hope you figure it out. I literally facepalmed when I saw that stupid relay fuse was the one busted on mine. I checked all the associated fuses and none of them were bad. The only reason I caught it was because a fuse was the only possible thing that could've made my radio/other stuff just stop working all of a sudden so I said f*** it and started pulling out every fuse until I found it
You might want to try that route. It's possible that some of the fuses are mislabeled in the instruction manual and some random fuse you don't even think is related to the clock/radio is busted.
If you've checked every single fuse and none are busted I'm not sure what it could be. It's annoying I know, it took me like 3 days of no radio before I just went ham on both fuse panels lol
Good luck

Yeah I've checked every fuse I could fine with a continuity tester, a light tester and visually. All are good. I've checked every ground I could find, maybe I missed one though..
That's why I was wondering if maybe it could be the front ecu or the red box on the back of the fuse box inside the car
