Default Radio problem

Ok, yesterday I swapped out the two stock thermal flashers (hazard & turn signal flashers) in favor of electronic flashers so they'll work with my LED bulbs.
Since then, my radio doesn't work. There's power to it... the lights come on, and it'll take a CD & eject it, but that's it. The problem lies in the fuse... I've tried replacing it, but as soon as I start the car, the fuse blows.
I don't see how changing the flashers could mess up the radio, so now I'm thouroughly confused. I've checked the wiring, and everything seems fine.
I do have a subwoofer wired up to the Monsoon deck with a PAC adapter, but it's been working fine for 8 months since I installed it.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Ok well, nevermind. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

I just have the worst luck ever. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

In putting the panel below the sterring coulmn back on, one of the 7mm screws on the bottom screwed itself into and through the remote turn on wire for my subwoofer's amp. This caused a short, therefore blowing the fuse.

A few little pieces of electrical tape later, and good as new.
