I was trying to fit this alarm and ive messed up posted_image

all I did was take the door pannel off, strip a bit of plasic off that green and black wire to test for current

now....

The electric windows dont work, the window wipers dont work, one of my 2 stereos does work, the other one dosnt? both my tv screens dont work, yet the dvd player they run off is working??

internal lights work still, so do indicators and external lights

I dont get it, its like some things have broken and others havent??

the wires that you strip did you put tape on then, maybe you touch both wires together, that car has fuses outside and inside the car, test all of then.

Did you make sure all the wire harnesses that you may have disconnected, or the harnesses that were in the dash area you were working in are all firmly connected. Some harness(es) may have disengaged while you were doing your installation.

I don't think anything is broken..., but then again what hasn't gone wrong will. It's not much of reassurance, but check all the harnness that you pull out and make sure that all the pin are line up correctly when you were reconnecting them back in.

did you just look at the fuses, or check them with a test light. Try to wire something that is not working directly to the battery, just to see if it works...
