I assume you were trying to add an amplifier?

Which wire did you tap?
How did you tap it?
What is it connected to?
How are you getting audio signal to the amp?

The 2 things to do first, is see if you blew a fuse. If you did replace it. However only if you shorted the power wires should that fuse blow.

The other thing is ti disconnect your connetions you made behind the radio and patch the wires. Then try turning it on again.

The fuse isn't going to blow unless you shorted the cut wire to ground. It soulds like you made a bad connetion. I would strip all 3 wires and twist them together, tape them up and see if that works. T-taps are terrbile connections.

The best way is to strip off a segment of the wires jacket, seperate the strainds and thread the other wire through and twist it around the first. You can tape it or solder and tape it at this point and it will never come loose.
