You know, you'd think that you would at least read the wires for voltage before you short them together, lol...

Only big wiring I know of in the dash areas would be the main ignition wire (which is black) and the blower wiring, but since I've never had to rip the dash apart, I'm not exactly an expert at this "guess the wire" game
