Engine wont start, Please help!

Ok guys today i did a big NO NO, i was installing my tachometer and i completely F***** up the installation, instead of hooking it up like i was supposed to i miss read the instructions and connected the white (dash lights) wire to the battery, i grounded the black wire, and heres were the IDIOCY comes in, i stuck the it was either red or range wire into the "Diagnostics" port in the engine bay, as far as i know those were the only 3 wires i connected, i also did some wiggling around underneath the steering wheel to look for the tachometer port. I was about done installing everything all i had to do was find were to put the tachometer wire and i still couldent find it. anyways at this point i was done trying to figuire it out, and got sick of turning my car on and off, i did that about 5 times, anyways i moved my car down to the end of the drive away, and after about 45 minutes i went back out to my car and the engine wont start, i can hear the engine rurring and stuff but it wont turn over, i checked the battery and the battery was perfect. By the way the carn turned on and off perfectly fine after i put the wire into the diagnostics, it was after i moved it down the street and about 45 minutes later that it wouldent turn on. I was told i either blew an amp switch or messed up the electrical, can anyone please help me out? I have work tomorrow and school is starting for me next week. I would appreciate any help, thank you so much..

I took the battery completely out and its spotlessly clean, member?
anyways i even took the battery to shucks and they told me it was perfect.
Im gonna check the fuses tonight with a buddy from work who builds cars i asked him to come help me out and he will be here in about an hour to check the fuses. Do you think i did any long term damage, y biggest fear is that i fried the computer...
And i completely took out the tachometer.

Best of luck to you. This part of DIY is what I dont like. But what does not kill you makes you a better person right?

Check the fuses, and check for wires under your steering wheel that got unplugged or cut when you were wiggling it.

Hopefully it was just something minor like a busted fuse.

1. Buy cluster w/ tach

2. Swap speedo over from old cluster to new one

3. Install new cluster in same manner as old one

4. Enjoy new tach'd cluster

5. Profit

Just thought id let everyone know that i fixed the problem, not me personally, but i had a friend come over and look at my wiring and fuses, found a blown fuse in the engine bay replaced it and it started perfectly, thanks for all the help guys, i much appreciate it.

^ good to know.

At least it was an easy fix, it can be scary sometimes after working on your car and then nothing works.
