I recently installed a aftermarket stereo into my2000 malibu and somewhere along the line it shorted and blew a couple fuses. The radio fuseand the interior fuse which was also the bfcm fuse, i replaced the fuses but the wont start and slowly loses all power,,any suggestions??

Something is shorting out clearly and creating a parasitic draw which drops starting power below threshold-check your installation as something is wrong.

Thanks for answering Andy, as soon as the short happened I took the head unit out and replaced all the blown fuses. I was thinking maybe because I waited till the next day to replace the fuses somehow the battery died. When I did try to start it it clicked repetitively and slowly lost power.– AlexDec 28, 2018 at 18:28

Run a mutimeter over every fuse-set meter to 200mv and see if any one of the fuses is dropping voltage-obviously, disable the interiror light first! Dec 29, 2018 at 10:04
