ML350 Electrical issues

Hello I need help! I have an ML350 2011. I tired to wire the trailer wiring harness on my own. Not only did I fail, I think I fried the vehicle. When I went to power everything up, the truck went on the fritz. The clock is erratically going backwards on its own, the engine wont turn over, and it doesnt even think it is in park. I dont know what I did, but its pretty bad. Any help would be appreciated before I turn it over to MB and they charge me an arm and a leg.

Just some added info; I (un) did everything I did with the installation and still have the same issue. It seems as if the SRS light however comes on the dash. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but it seems like that may be part of the issue at least.

I continually hear "clicking" when trying to turn over but the battery is def. not dead. Dash lights up like a christmas tree.
