Default *help check vsc, stuck in "P"

My friend was helping me uninstall a radar detector that was hardwired to the autodim mirror. After everything was finished the car thru a "check vsc" and now won't shift out of park? I noticed my auto-dim mirror won't turn on but it seems the homelink still functions. Any ideas, I think it might be the fuse but Im not sure which one.

Probably a fuse. If it is the one on the wiring diagram I think it is, it is under the driver's side under a small white cover. Center row, second fuse from the front. There is a diagram inside the cover, the fuse is ECU-IG LH, it's a 10A fuse. If it isn't the fuse, you've got a much bigger problem and I wouldn't want to try and troubleshoot it over the Internet.

yes everything is fixed now. That little fuse 10A fuse cause me so much confusion it turned off vsc/trac/ac/power-steering and wouldn't let me shift out of park.
