'03 Spyder GT Electrical Issue
I recently replaced the sun visors on an '03 Spyder GT convertible with some cleaner ones out of salvage yard. I didn't think to disconnect the battery first. As soon as I replaced the sun visors I checked to see if the mirror lights worked. They didn't. Then I noticed several things quit working that did work prior to changing the sun visors. The power door locks don't work when the car is is not running (they do work when it is running). The interior lights don't work. The power antenna doesn't work. The clock/radio display doesn't work. The radio works, but it doesn't maintain any setting so each time you start the car you have to reset it. I've checked all fuses.
I guess it could be coincidental that this happened when I replaced the sun visors, but that would be quite a coincidence. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Update... as I'm thinking about this, everything that doesn't work are things that should have power when the car is shut off.

What was the outcome of this? The exact same thing with my car, EXACT!!!
