According to the Gates Timing belt guide this is an interference engine. Have a compression test performed to see if any of the cylinders are down. It may have bent valves or other engine damage if the old belt skipped teeth. Otherwise the new belt may not have been lined up correctly. Take the car to a reputable mechanic and have the cam timing checked and also the compression test done
Check the compression in the cylinders
in order to replace belt you will need a repair manual from auto store to know what to remove and how to configure it when replacing.

Just check the fuse box for busted fuses. They are properly labelled as headlights, park lights, etc..
Also check the wirings for short circuited lines. Further-
more check the bulbs, if these are still ok.
