Default 80 with ECM Buzzer works nothing else

Installed a stereo and when I was putting the passenger seat in the CD turned off but the blue stereo lights where still on. I tried to start the car and it wont. Disconnected the battery and reconnected and still wont start and now blue lights on stereo wont turn on. Tried to start in neutral and no luck. The buzzer works when I put the key in and the tach goes to 6000 when I try to start the car. when I let off on the key the tach goes back to zero. any Ideas?

You could start with testing the battery. Do you have a DMM?

Well Damn... After messing around with it yesterday I figured out the battery went from good to 6 volts instantly. so I think it's just a battery. going to get one now. Never had one just crap out like that.

Now the Car will start again but the windows wont work. I don't think there is power to the wire at the fuse box. I'm not getting power to the orange / black battery wire either.
