Welcome to the site. :thumb:

Which fuse box ? Whichever box you use, best to get out your test light or multi-meter and find the slot that best fits your needs. Depending on how you run the wire, 1 slot may be better located than another.

Strictly speaking, They are all constant because it's the ground that gets switched in most cases. The cig lighters are always hot, but that fuse also supplies the OBDII port.

i connected my blinking alarm led light to the red and black ignition wire in the column and now the car won't start!!! Looks like the wire sparked or heated a bit. What should i do ?

Have a competent mechanic fix it, you may need to replace the whole harness.

The wires don't look burnt.

Well well. We tried to help you when you ask about hooking up that wire in your other thread. Sadly, you never replied back to that thread.
Now it sounds like you've tried to hook it up somewhere you shouldn't have. As Oldblue said, you've probably fried that harness and maybe even done more serious damage like ECM, or BCM.

Best to find a good tech to straighten out your problem. Don't be surprised if it gets very expensive.
In my old days of doing tech work, wiring problems was one of my specialties.
The red/black wire you hooked to was probably a ground. Did you test it first? Sounds like you hooked a hot lead wire up to ground and suffered a positive ground short.
Best to leave the wiring to the experts.

You could check the fuse.

Good adivice above Pat, and as an aside, using your e-mail as a Username is a very bad idea. Lots of loonies out there, I'll gladly change it, just shoot me a PM.
