*HELP* Swapped battery now most electronics don't work?
 

I just recently swapped out my battery for my 2013 BRZ. Pretty basic stuff took the old one out and popped the new one in. Now when i start it my windows don't respond, I have no power steering, radio doesn't work, wipers, traction control, basically a whole lot has stopped working. Lots of lights on the dash also. I'm guessing it's a fuse somewhere but don't know enough to check myself. Really don't want to bring it into a dealership and wait 2 months for it to get fixed. Any one have any idea what's going on?

Well, young grasshopper you have the classic case of "oh shit the battery leads touched metal and fried stuff" or "oh shit, I put it in backwardss."

Your in luck, most of the time it's just the main fuse that's in the positive terminal, or a few fuses in the fuse box or the secondary fuse box inside the cabin.

FYI, not all repairs require dealership. Any local mechanic shop can do the same exact fix. Call up any local shop tell them your story. They will help prices are usually cheaper.

Yep, chances are you popped one of these fuses. The fuse block assembly is about $15, check it with a multi-meter first.

Thank you very much! Bringing it into my local shop as I type

As mentioned above, it could be one or more blown fuses.

This happened to me on my previous Toyota, 2011 Rav4 to be specific. I just removed the cables from the battery, let it sit for several minutes and then reconnected the battery cables. Everything worked normally since.
