So your friend was just randomly touching wires together in your dash, then shoved them, taped together, into the dash... and now shit doesn't work? For some reason, I'm not shocked... There is likely a blown fuse that you simply couldn't find, (were you just looking at the tops of them, or did you have an actual test light?) a missing supply wire somewhere that was cut off, (like Scotty said) or randomly touching wires together cooked a component in the system (such as an illumination switch). Purposely causing power/ground shorts in your car in order to test for power and ground is a really shitty idea, as you now know.

I don't have anything else nice to say, so I'm gonna stop here...
