Default Ripped wires!! Help!

hi guys i messed something up. i have a dodge 1500 1997 laramie ram. i took out a broke aftermarket radio and in the process ripped a
connection that was behind it. i still have the connection nothing was plugged into it but it had the pink wire, black and green and two other wires into it
it was a 4 prong connection. but as soon as i ripped it out the cab roof push lights are out and now there is no power to
the radio. should i reconnect the ripped wires to the 4 prong connector? or is it a fuse? or should i just install new radio and see what happens?

both. if you stripped the wires, and they touched each other, or against the ground of the radio that would cause a dead short, and likely blow a fuse or even two...dependending on where they went. no matter what, put electric tape over those exposed wires! .....or in the words of Yoda

Suffer the same problem you will..
