I recently replaced the starter solenoid on my son's 1988 GT. The car starts and runs great, however the power windows and radio no longer work. Both worked before I replaced the solenoid. I replaced the power window fuse thinking it may be bad, it wasn't. There has to be a fuse somewhere else not in the main fuse panel. Any suggestions?

Be sure you have all the wires connected back to the correct side of the starter relay. If you have them all connected check the fuse links next to the eyelets.

All but (1) wire go to the positive side of the relay and there is the wire that goes to the start post. Only the (1) wire goes to the negative side of the relay. I am not sure how to check fusable links. Nothing looks burned though.

Yeah all the small wires with the exception of the 90 degree one go on the battery side of the relay. to check a fuse link you look for melted/crinkled looking wire insulation between the heat shrink pieces that say fuse link. other option is ohming them out of checking for +12v on the end of the wire where they terminate. Thats a better option because it will show voltage drop. Ohms will still read decent to good even if only 1 strand of wire is still connected.

I cant remember the total number of wires going to the battery side of the relay but its a bunch. nut sets almost flush with top of stud on mine, but ive rewired most of my car.
