Long story short, I installed a radio, reconnected the battery and no longer did my tailights, brake lights, or rear and front signal lights work. The relay blew and I need a write up on how to replace it and where to find it because I'm dookie with wires.

The first thing you have to figure out is what caused the relay to fry itself. Does you no good fixing it if the problem that caused it is still there.

I'm not really sure what fried it because everything worked literally an hour prior to the radio install.

So sounds like you fucked up the install. Might wanna double check there before you even attempt to fix the relay.

I've checked and yeah I fucked up somewhere along the line haha, but now everything is correct on the radio harness and I just need to replace the darn relay now which I still don't know how to do.

DId you splice the dimmer into the lights that might affect the lights if you messed with that circuit.

No, I didn't touch any wire that wasn't pertaining to the radio
