"engine pwr reduced"

hey guys,

so today i swapped my hvac and put blue 3mm leds in it. During the process, I blew the fuse, which lights the hvac, both mine and my passenger switches, the steering wheel, and the lights on the gear box( P, D, N, R, etc). so pulled the fuse box and swapped the fuse presto problem fixed, go to turn the car on boom, "engine power reduced, car starts right up everytime and cuts almost instantly off. I cant get it to run more than a second. Disconnected the battery a few times for 25 mins at a time and still comes right back on and same problem...Any suggestions? i mneed the car asap to get back and forth from school and work. Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated

try checking some of the fuses under the hood may have blown one of them as well.

since it blew your power steering, that would be the power reduced reason. but the code probably just needs to be reset.

shake them and see if you hear something rattling inside them. that is normally how you can tell they are bad.

I had an engine power reduced light that would come on every once in a while, then gradually got worse so i finally took it to the dealership, and i guess some of my wiring harnesses were chewed up right in front of my supercharger. So check those out cuz that solved my problem.
