About a month ago i installed my rear strut tower bar (i do not believe this is source of problem just a timeline type of thing), and the next time i started my car i noticed i had lost my clock, dome light and trunk light. Checked the Fuses and replaced them in the fuse box next to drivers seat. Im guessing it is some sort of short, but im not entirely sure (im not very thrifty when it comes to electrical and wiring issues). IF anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate the help.

Thanks Zach.

You checked and replaced the fuses. They were blown? If they were, are they blown again?

It has to do with the light in the back. You probably hit it or did something while installing the bar. I hit the bulb by accident when I was installing my bar and it blew a fuse. Check the fuses again and the bulb as well.

under the hood, look for a red 10amp fuse. Check to see if any of the fuses are blown.

Did you SEE any wiring when installing the rear strut bar? Can you see any wiring anywhere near the bar?
Go through and look through every step you performed to install it.
