Default new antennae blown fuse

*********not an electrician************
Recently installed new antennae and wired the red to orange pwr & blue to the yellow. The black ground is not attached to anything. Problem?
The new antennae worked when everything was torn apart/disconnected. Now that I have everything back together my courtesy fuse continues to blow immediately.
I get I probably have to take all that crap apart again but can someone explain, in laymen terms, what I should be looking for as I unplug each system? Or whatever I need to do.

Thanks
