1994 Ford Escort 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I just recently had my alternator changed for the second time. This time the car would crank but wouldnt turn over, causing me to believe it was either the timing belt or the fuel pump. The problem ended up being the alternator. Anyways after having that replaced now my radio, dome lights, and other accesories will not work. I tried to the fuses but they blow as soon as you put a new one in, literally right away. I dont know what else to do. I believe it has something to do with wires being connected wrong but not sure. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!

Thank you,
Evan

did you check the cigarette lighter, this is where the problem usually lies when this fuse blows.
