Look real close around where you were working, anywhere your feet were or your arms...sounds like you knocked a plug loose under the dash.

could be almost anything . Did you or someone else do the install ? Was any splicing done or did you use a premade connector that plugs into the current wiring ? Hopefully you pulled the power before wiring this all up . I would probably start by pulling the radio after pulling battery power and looking at all the wires and make sure none of them are chaffed or have open copper showing . If nothing is found there and pulling battery power didn't help it possible that you somehow did some damage to the BCM when installing the new radio if you crosswired something . The BCM controls all the stuff you are complaining about . Unfortuently if that has to be replaced it won't be cheap , could be $500 . If everything was wired correctly initially it should have done no damage , I self installed a Denon unit in my 96 Voyager without any problems and it has runn fine for 10 years... you may have to take it to the dealer and have them scan the thing to see if they see anything..

thanks for the info, where is that bcm located where i live i can get basically any piece for cheap because they have a u-pull it around my way thanks and ill try to change that piece and see if thats what it is. can u explain where and how does it look. thanks again

The bcm is tucked up under the drivers side dash and it just a black looking square box , it is a computer that controls all the interior functions . I have read if you replace them you have to make sure it cam from the same year make and model if you replace it .
