Sorry for the slow response, I work a late shift. All fuses are good. The factory wires that I do not have connected are the white/black, violet, green/white and the pink. On the radio side I do not have the reverse " no backup camera " or the rem out cable. The battery did go dead on me and I did make a little spark which popped fuse 8 when I had to cut everything loose due to the fact that the first radio I got would not fit without a lot of cutting. The one I have now is a sony

So you have a dead battery. Problem solved. Charge it up or get a new one.

You fried something with the first radio installation. Fuse #8 is ignition and passkey 3.

Have the ignition related recalls been performed?

Unclear if it is fixed now. If not, fuse #8 is the ignition switch, figure out how you managed to blow it then fix whatever did it. Sounds like someone was looking for a switched circuit.
I don't know how you could have blown it doing a radio install.

I don't see a violet wire (maybe one of the dk blu wires, one is steering wheel controls the other is RR speaker). The pink goes to the antenna amp (if you want to listen to radio with the factory antenna it is needed) and is the on signal for a amplifier. The blk/wht is ground. the wht/blk is 10 volt ref(for steering wheel controls).
The dk grn/wht wire is the computer data line.

I still can't think of anything a plain radio transplant could cause a no crank.
