Default Please help!! Electrical issue

Hi all
Quick rundown of my problem
2004 4.7L 2wd
Came home from work with my work vehicle to find parking lights on. No key in ignition and turning truck on and off didn't change anything
It was going in for a exhaust manifold broken stud anyways so I had mechanic check it out
He traced it back (checked relays, trailer harness and switch) and told me it had to be a PDC (fuse box) issue.
Went to the wreckers and picked one up.
Removed original and found that the connectors on the new one were different then what I had
A little pissed but hey it happens.
Reconnected original and hooked battery back up
Dash board is flickering jibberish on and off. Checked all my connections and everything seems ok?? What the hell happened? I didn't drop it or anything. You can only put the harnesses in a certain way not to mention they are color coded

Any one with any ideas please please give me a hand

Thanks

You didn't drop it, but you did flex the ckt board moving it around and pulling the plugs. If it had a problem already you might have made it worse.
