    While installing a Gentex 453 w/Homelink I accidentally touched the constant hot wire for the factory mirror (3 wires:constant, switched and ground). Now my dome light and power door locks only work if the ignition is on. Smart key, key fob and annoying beep when the door is open do not work. Nice not having the annoying beep but I need the other things. lol I have gone through the fuses with a multi-meter and everything checks out fine. Is there a relay that I should be looking for? Thanks in advance...

    Any relay would be internal in the BCM. Sounds like you did some internal damage

    Always disconect the battery when working on electrical.
    I would disconnect the battery, go back through the fuses and double check, then reconnect and hope for the best. If not, then you may have fried something.

    Kind of hard to blow out a relay.
    Might be stupid question but how did you check with meter ? In circuit or out ?

    You’re probably going to have to take it to the dealer and have a computer replaced. When my shell was put on something got fried. Lost my lock unlock audible tone, interior lights no longer worked automatically, and lost the third brake light. Dealer replaced computer and reprogrammed at shell dealer cost.
