Crossed cable are the biggest no no in the industry. Keep checking fuses there might also be fuse links they will look like a burned wire, everything that has polarity like the alternator and all the control modules will have separate fuses and some have more than one fuse. Locate all the fuse blocks then take a test light ground one end with the other enf touch the fuses by putting the probe on one side of the fuse then the other a good fuse lites on both ends if a fuse has no power that circuit isn't being used and not a problem, hope this helps
