Drives: the friggin' wheels off.

Electrical gremlin troubleshooting

Please help if you can.

Alright, so I wrecked the car at a race earlier in the year. Mechanical damag only. I'm puting the car back together now, and in the process of pulling out some of the mangled metal I think I saw a spark come from the wire harness under the driver's fender. I checked, and sure enough I had sliced 2 wires open a bit and probably grounded them. The car woudln't start. I disconnected the battery. I checked for dead fuses and the only one I found (amongst all of them, inside and out) was what I think to be the cooling fan fuse. It was a 30A fuse and the lid for the fuse box (in the engine bay) had a pic of a fan inside a snowflake... I took that to mean cooling fan. I replaced the fuse and bandaged up the wires and now the car starts. Here are my remaining gremlins:

-Interior Dome light, Trunk light, Radio never come on under any circumstances.
-Keyless entry and door lock buttons only work when the key is in the "on" position, whether the car is on or off. I can't figure out how all these things are related and I don't know which wires run under that fender so I don't know where to begin troubleshooting.

To be honest it almost sounds like you have some problem with the ignition wiring, your radio is controlled by ignition on, and your keyless entry probably has to do with ignition off. I'd check in the passenger footwell just for anything out of the ordinary.
