Amature hack at work... caution!!!
Check your fuse panel for blown fuses. Most shorts like this will blow fuses 1st. If there is no fuse for that circuit, it can damage wires that operate other devices too.
May I suggest you get a Professionl installer to mop up this one, before any greater damage happends?

PS It's folks like this, that give car audio a bad reputation. They know just enough to be very dangerous and costly to the car owner. Sorry, the facts are hard to argue with. Good luck!!!

for the radio...possibly just a fuse. For the window...you're on your own.

nuthings wrecked probably, just replace the fuses and look at every wire and make sure its insulated with at least 3 wraps of black electrical tape and prefereably something better like round vinyl tubing

dome light fuse. as you open the driver door, the fuse box is on the left side of the dash. pop it open, swap the dome light fuse, radio should work. check all your other fuses, too.
