yup

check em with a multimeter

I dont like test lights to much, they work, but when its a big issue like this I like to use a meter

you can check for voltage and resistance

Anytime i had trouble with a car going very slow like that it turned out to be the Mass Air Flow Sensor. Figure out a way to test that and make sure you didnt fry it somehow. Also, most of your MAJOR fuses are in the battery compartment. Thats where i would start. Also look where you tried to hard wire and make sure there is no bare wire touching any metal and see if there is any melted rubber or wire housing up there, then trace it and figure out where it leads to.

my thoughts is that if the car drives, its not a fuse, odds are you may have sent a short signal to the computer and the car is in a "limp mode" this happened to me when i got rims and never programmed any of the tpms sensors. if the car simpky wouldnt do anything like starting, then id say it could be a fuse, idk jsut my 2c's. like i said, try to disconnect the battery comletely and let it sit for a while, this should reset the computer.

If your battery is dead you have a dead short, you grounded a wire somewhere for sure

Yikes!!!! I bought my G from a good friend and he installed a mute button close to where the left hand sits when it's not on the steering wheel. Very convenient....especially when I have a passenger in my car . They don't ever even know I muted it.

Its a fuse, this same thing happened to me in my 03 Z. My dad flipped out cuz we had just got it home that day lol. I checked all the fuses with a fuse tester and found one blown. Replaced it and everything came back online, I was careful to not touch the wires together at that point and completed the install perfectly.
