HELLLLLPPP
ok so i was changing out my radio in my 91 laredo and my power antenna wouldnt go up so i tried to start the car and it wouldnt turn over. the dome lights would not go on and radio had no power and the dash didnt light up. everytime i turned on the lights the clock would turn off. i replaced the dome light fuse and radio turned on with the dome lights. it will start when jumped but as soon as i turn it off it just ticks

You have some wiring issues caused by the radio install. Pull the radio out and triple check all the wiring for shorts or wires connected to the wrong place. Something is shorting out and killing your battery.
