Hatch and FOB
Been driving a 98 vette for a few months now and the only problem is a self inflicted one. After putting in a new radio, I noticed that my key FOB didn't work, tried resetting, still nothing. I tried pushing the button on the dash to open the hatch, but still nothing. Is there a chance I might've messed up the electrical wiring cluster behind the radio and AC? I checked "mini fuse" 26 is hatch/trunk release, and it was good. "micro relay" fuse 39 is also labeled hatch/trunk release, but I'm not too sure how to check that. Other than that I'm kinda stumped and if anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

I replaced said fuses and sure enough after a reset of the key fob, everything is in working order again! Cant thank you enough, lucky. It would've taken me forever to have solved it on my own. Haven't done the diagnostics yet, but I'll go give that a shot and see if anything else is amiss.
