What stupid thing did I do now that my brand new car wont even crank

I was toying with my Weapon R Throttle Controller (which I had a blast with, I just installed it today) then when I came home and tried to start it again all the dash lights would come on and my Ultra-Gauge (Which I love) gave me a engine code of P2138 which has to do with the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor.

I then disconnected the Weapon R Controller and made sure every cable was attached nicely. I even checked some fuses. I been messing with the car and Googleing for hours and I have no go answer. Usually when this happens to other folks the car will drive, just poorly.
NOTE: When my key is in the IGN position I can hear the throttle plate move just fine as I press the pedal so I know my pedal is working.

So over-night i'm going to leave all the cables unplugged and dis-connect the battery (again). Or is there a better way to reboot the ECU?

If nothing works i'm going to have to get the insurance company tow it to the dealer or will the warranty tow the car?
This sucks.

I found the problem...
Ok well I'm still blaming this on my Weapon R Throttle Controller.
I checked every fuse under the hood and under the Dash. A stupid little 5A fuse was blown. Its called AM1 what ever that means. Its an ignition fuse. I would have checked it last night what I didnt think a 5A fuse that says AM1 would keep my car from starting. How about calling it IGN or something smart.
The car is running fine with no engine light. I can hear my baby Idling in the garage from here..
I'm so glad I didnt call the dealer. I told myself to check every cable and fuse first, glad I did.
I'm going to keep the Weapon R boxed up for a few days until I'm ready to speak to it again. (But boy does it take out the throttle lag. Every gear shift is perfectly matched with acceleration.)

God Bless.

I've been running my weapon r for about 6 months with no issues, maybe it was a fluke?

Yea it was. After I drove my Mothers Hyundai Genesis (hauls butt!) from the airport I decided I'm going to re-install it.
I am going to hardwire it since my Ultra-Gauge is using the OBD port. I think I had to many things plugged into my ignition system. And that cheesy fuse blew.
I now need a Constant 12 Volt to tap into. I want one somewhere from under the dash. Do you have any recommendations? I have yet to search.

Nice, I hardwired it to the Hazard Button Harness. 24/7 12 Volt.
Here is a pic of the install. Everything else is behind the AC Controls.
