Help... Wiring issue

2001 SLK 230

I was wondering if someone could explain to me a little about my problem.. I unplugged the piece circled in red. and when doing so it was said to me that it would enter the car into "drag mode". While it was in that mode. i believe i didnt fully disconnect this and now when i plug it back in the unit labled ESP (circled in the yellow) is constantly running weather the car is on or off. The only way i can get it to shut off is to unplug that whole piece (circled in the red)

If anyone could tell me what the name of these things actually are that would be great for starters.

Other than that which one of the wires that are in the red circled piece control the yellow circled piece and which is the ground, power, etc..

In the picture "short" it looks as tho i have shorted one of those wires or have caused somthing to happen there... Please help!!!
