The fuse that controlls your radio when the inition is on is the same that controlls the in-dash indicator light that your brights are on, the twilight sentinel for your rear-view mirror, and your auxillary electric water pump. Most likely, when you got in your accedent, the surge tank (which holds your excess collant) overflowed on the auxillary pump, which is electrical and located directly beneath the tank. Why they would put this there baffles me, but to check if that is the problem simply unplug that pump, and replace your blown fuses. If you turn your car on and the fuse remains intact, replace the pump. Be careful that you have not shorted the lines running to the pump, however, as they could have water damage from the surge tank as well. My auxillary pump has been unplugged for three months, and the car is fine.

Is there a way to put antifreeze in the radiator of a 98 Cadillac Catera?

On the Catera you do not add coolant through the radiator. If you need to add coolant to the cooling system, you should do that through the expansin tank. This located on the passinger side inner fender wall. It looks like a see-thru plasic tank with a yellow cap. Do not open when coolant is hot!
