Default Car cracking out. Help please!

2007 EX Sedan (Auto Tran) - Manufactured in Jap.

Ok...this is getting annoying..well i read over the forum and cam across the DIY for amp installation on a factory HU and failed. Couldnt find a 12v line. I read around and saw a post about a Fatter red wire (both orange and red were fatter then others) And read that the Red wire was a 12v acc wire. (The wire is located near the internal fuse box) I tapped into the wire as a remote and the amp didnt power up so i took a break and came back in a few minutes and decided to unarm the car thinking it was armed. and the car went on crack. Literally.. Corner lights and break lights..pretty much all of em were flashing and the un-arm sound/beep keep goin off. So i decided to unplug the + on the battery to shut it up (1 in the morning). I tried removing all the wires I tapped into and put the + power back and the alarm was going of and the alarm remote seem to have no effect. Im 100% sure the other wires besides that one i tapped into has nothin to do with it (Amp power, Rear L+R Speaker). Anyone have an idea to fix this? I'm like freaking out. Dont want my parents to know i was fiddling with the car.

I hope you have found the problem buy nowbut if not here is where I would start. double check that you removed all the wiring you added and repaired anything you spliced into. Next grab yuur owners manual and start checking your fuses. You might have blown one when you where hooking things up. Hate to say this but it sounds like your in way over your head. First rule of thumb when working on something like this disconnect your battery before splicing into wiring. Second always use a dmm or at the least a test light to find out what wires have constant b+ and switched b+.

I don't believe the factory HU has pre-outs.

You should have done a little research prior to experimenting.
