Need help fast!!!

Well guys I got home from church tonight and decided I would get rid of that old radar detector that the previous owner had in it. It didn't even work so I just unplugged it from the wire and threw it away. Well I went to start up my car and all my guages quite working except the speedometer. Then I got home and tried to start it back up and it won't start now. All the accessories work except the car just won't start now. Is it a fuse??? That would have been my first guess but now the fact that it won't start has me stumped. Thanks for the help.

Well guys it starts now. A friend of mine told me that was because my guages were messed up and since my temp guage reads 250 to 260 the computer won't let the car start at that temperature because it is telling it that it is too hot. I think it is a fuse with the guages in fact I am 90 percent sure becuase it probably killed the fuse when I unhooked that detector just need some sort of reinforcement.
