I suggest you have ur car scanned. if there is anything wrong you did in the electrical dept... it will show. That will provide you a good place to start.
OR, activate the self-diagnostics and count the Check Engine Light blinks. It can point you in some direction from which to proceed...
TIP: is your engine properly grounded? ;-)
