well its late and all i can suggest is check your fuses... sounds kinda crappy but the way everything sounds i would start with that and if that doesnt work. i would go about getting a wiring diagram and seeing what all those systems/components have in common....

Try putting it back to normal and see if it starts working again.

You probably have a hot wire that is grounding causing the fuse to blow. Check all you connection and make sure you didnt unintentioally fray any wires in the process of your install. <-That sounds like what may have happened.
