Car is a vs calais l67
Hi guys was checking for error codes and while I was shorting the two pins the other side of the wire I was using touched the pin on the lower right side of the plug. It sparked and blew the wire apart.
Now my dash and lights are playing games. For example my ac turns on without the screen lighting up and when I use my fog lights it switches on and off. Another thing is my cluster doesn't light up and a few other things.
I tried leaving the battery disconnected overnight didn't help.

No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

5 and 16 is ground and +12v, so yeah I'd be checking fuses!
