    The stereo the previous owner of my car installed stopped working correctly, so I took out that stereo to swap in a new one and while doing so realized what a mess the previous owner made of the wires. I accidentally touched the yellow and orange wires coming from the vehicle wiring harness to a metal piece of the vehicle and I saw a spark. Now my car will not start and stereo will not turn on. I checked every single fuse but am unsure what else to check. Car doesn’t turn over, doesn’t do anything other than make a click noise. Also my key fob is no longer working since this happened as well. Does somebody have an idea of where I should begin?
    Thanks for reading
