    You kinda wired it up like "newbie 001", this is how many of us learn the "how not to do wiring" of stuff.

    Sorry, but you might need to send stuff out to be repaired. One thing I'd try first is unhooking the battery connections for the pac/whole car and let it sit overnight. And read the owners manual on everything you have. If there's any kind of circuitry reset, maybe you find it or the unhook resets it.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I would suspect a bad pac harness as well, These inverters really draw alot of current and alot more then a stereo.

    An inverter, I would even run it from the cigerette lighter plug or even the power windows, I would go direct to the battery and use a Good relay rated for the current the inverter draws if you want switched power.

    Sort of like you would do for hooking up an amp, And use an inline fuse intended for the purpose placed close to the battery.
