Help answer this question below.

I just got a new battery in my 2003 mazda tribute. Now the radio will not work and the inside lights will not work. Also my remote key will not work as well. What is wrong?

    Check your owners manual. When you took the old battery out some of the electrical items revert to an antitheft setting and they need to be reset before they work normally. Subarus also do the same thing.

    all of the codes reset, the radio should ask for a code, the remote may need to be reset by the dealer though

    It sounds like you blew a fuse.

    Check all of the fuses for those things, maybe there was some type of a spike or something that blew them when you battery was replaced.
