Well i found a fuse that was out of place so the car runs again. Third times the charm. So disaster averted and now all i need is a new rheostat aka dimmer. Live and learn I checked all my old wiring harnesses and they all came with just one orange wire, so I guess crutchfield is giving out...

It was a really simple install just out with the eclipse avn5435 and in with the new jvc unit. Used all the same wires as far as parking brake, speed sensor, ground. Used crutchfields wiring harness that has two orange illumination wires. I dont know what i was thinking but i connected those...
