You 'opened' a vital circuit.  Check all connections and try again.  If it
starts, don't do that again.  If it doesn't, head to your nearest junkyard,
er, . . . reuse center, and find a panel that has a diff' color circuit
'ribbon'.  Believe the blue is the better of the two I've seen.

As you've learned now, that area of the van is one of the most prone, IME,
to give you a negative ROI.  BTDT.
