Ok so I was trying to install a FM modulator into my stock head unit when trying to take the face plate off I took off the climate control face plate and I had the key on so i could take it out of park and get the ashtray out when I did that the back of the climate control hit a screw and a little bit of smoke came out from what look like the head unit or climate control....... now when I turn my key everything comes on but the engine it wont even turn like the starter fuse is blown but I checked that. The radio still comes on and works fine but the climate control wont come on i guess thats just because the cars not starting well if anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated
