Installed Stereo, now nothing works

Not sure if this is better for tech support or audio, but here goes.

I installed a Pioneer stereo the other day(
Amazon.com : PIONEER FHX500UI Double-Din CD Player with Mixtrax and iPod Compatibility : Vehicle Receivers : Car Electronics Amazon.com : PIONEER FHX500UI Double-Din CD Player with Mixtrax and iPod Compatibility : Vehicle Receivers : Car Electronics
). It worked fine when I had the harness outside of the pocket, but not when I finally installed it. Also, there were a few other issues that started after I installed the stereo.

Additional info: I had the dimmer switch wire connected to the yellow stereo wire so the stereo was always on. I fixed that and then reinstalled it, but then it didn't work anymore. I tried taking it out and rechecking the wires, but still nothing.


Current problems:
AC doesn't turn on anymore
Dome lights don't work
Odometer trip counter doesn't save after shutoff
Fan control switch doesn't seem to do anything. It turns on/off, but the switch for Legs/Cabin/Defrost don't work.

Things I've checked:
Fuse boxes in engine bay
Fuse on radio

Any other ideas on what to check?

Update: Fixed it (mostly). Replaced a couple fuses in the fusebox by the gas pedal. AC is still wonky, so I'm guessing I missed another fuse somewhere.

Is this for a FD ? The A/C panel has two connectors that you may have bumped when you installed the head unit. Where did you make the head unit ground ? I've had more success making a ground to the metal trans tunnel than trying to ground to a bracket attached to plastic or using the oem ground wire from the dash harness.
