Default struck by lightning

I dont know whats going on with my car but everything electrical is going one by one.
1. The sub
2. The bass in the radio
3. Back up lights
4. The radio fried(some smartass)
5. The gas guage(prob fuel pump)
6. The auto down window feature

I would start simple, check ALL your power connections around the battery including the factory ground right next to it. Wiggle all the connections and see if they are loose at all. A bad ground can cause alot of stupid little stuff.

I bet he has an aftermarket battery and that the post size was slightly different. I have seen that a few times. People don't tighten the clamps down enough or replace them to fit on the new post.

no to the list of problems. But I suppose take them off...I went in the garage at night and used a flashlight to pick each fuse apart and found one that has the radio something else and GEM. What the heck is GEM and why does it have to do with my wipers and the autodown on the window?
