Ok, anyone know why this would happen?

Ok, so i will be the first to admit, i was going to trade in my magnum for an F150 last night, but i kinda got cold feet, and the deal just wasnt sweet enough. But anticipating the exit of the magnum from my fleet, i replaced my stinger dry cell battery with the stock. Now I will admit i might have just slapped it in there to get it done, but on my way home from the hospital (girlfriend has nasty stomach flu, shes ok though

) i hit a bump about 100 yards from my house, and all of the electronic controls go black. but the engine is still running, and the wiper blades started going full tilt without me even touching the switch. I ran back, opened the gate, and noticed that the 0 guage factory wire had come out (to front fuse block) but the smaller guage wire was still connected. now, at this point i have the keys in my hand but the car is running, wiper blades going full tilt, and the sound of some sort of blower from the engine compartment, so i pulled that wire out too. the car goes dead, but now when i give it power, the locks wont move, the rear life gate wont open, and the wipers still go full tilt... did i fry the computer? any thoughts?
Thanks Guys

Sounds like the little fugger is pissed you were going to trade it in for an F-shytty and was giving you a lil payback.

Possessed car FTW!

Seriously though, I'm not all techie with these cars like some are here. You'll have a solid answer soon enough!

Try disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes and rehook everything back up. You likely glitched one of the computers (or worse... hope not). You will need to do the steering angle reset afterwards.

Keep us posted

Maybe the cable bounced off and grounded itself? That all I could come up with. Good luck

So only the smaller (8Guage?) red/positive wire is connected and the negative is fully connected? I'd guess you toasted the computer, hope not though, that sounds expensive
