Unhappy electrical problem HELP !!!!

For some reason my music does not work, my interior lights don't work, and all of my warning lights goes on when I first start my FC. I thought it was the wiring for my music deck, so i started messing around wth it, and to make matter worse my antenna started to go up and down by itself. What the hell should I do?

all the warning lights should come on when you first start your car. They should turn off about 5 seconds later after the engine is running.

Sounds like you also have a blown room fuse.

and that you have bare or broken wires behind the radio

Shouldn't that be immediately after the engine starts?

I was being generous with my time estimate...

I work at a car stereo shop and it sounds to me like the wiring behind you deck is not hooked up properly, and that there could be a fuse out. The only thing that can cause your power ant. to go up and down by itself, is if it were to get power, which means exposed wire, also look for factory amplifiers in the two rear pods and for the two front speakers, that could be another reason you're not getting sound. The warning lights should come on right when you start your car and then go off a second later.
