I recently got this radio.

And my Corvette already had an aftermarket xplod 52x4 radio in it but was cheaper and didn't sound good. So me and my brother installed the new one. Every thing was wired correctly and the radio would work until we tried plugging in the antenna cord to the radio. The yellow power wire we forgot to cover touched the back metal part of the radio and it shut off. We went through and checked the radio fuses and every other fuse in the car. And the radio will not work at all, even with the engine running and a door open none of the interior lights will come on either. I think I royally F'd up! :( Please help me figure this out, last resort is to take it to CarToys and I would rather spend that money on other mods.
