Default Trunk/Radio Connection Issue?

Today I hit a pretty solid bump that cut power to my aftermarket radio, stopped my trunk from being able to open completely, and made my dome light stop working. I've checked all fuses, and relays that I know of, and nothings wrong. Any suggestions? I've been reading forums and just testing everything that anyone else has already posted about, and nothing is working.

Nothing electrical about the trunk not being able to open completely. Purely mechanical/physical. Start here. Maybe some wiring torn or shorted. Got some aftermarket audio stuff there?

I suspect he means that the trunk lid release has stopped working.

Too bad he didn't write that.

My bad, was really vague with my post. Yes, I have subs in the back that nearly take up the whole trunk. Also, the car has had the trunk keyhole removed.

The various things that aren't working are on different fuses and different grounds, so probably not a fuse or ground problem.
I'm not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are all disabled during starting by the starter cut relay (E on the under-dash
fusebox diagram below). It may be loose or damaged. You could pull it and see if anything else stops working, in which case
it's unlikely to be the problem.
