your light controls run throught the cd deck harness or at least run near them if you left any wires bare they probably grounded and you shorted a fuse, i cant remember which one it is( i think light control but you should check all your fuses)

cover your wires even for just a short period of time, saves you from alot of bull**** problems

check fuses... it got grounded... if fuses dont work change TCU...



that square white box... go get it at a junk yard... dealership charges 300+ sumthing dollars for that one...
