    Hi;
    today i tried to fix a wireless front camera to my car which i bought from ebay. when i am installing it i gave the power from parking light to the camera. And I started installing my LCD to screen inside the car, i plugged the 12v power cable in to the 12v plug. after that unfortunately Power( + ) and Ground ( - ) wires were merged to gather it got wire short, so a small fire came up from the female socket of camera receiver connected to the LCD screen (I have attached the image of the female socket). then after that 12v power cable stopped working, so i removed the fuse then i saw it was damaged due to wire short (i have attached the fuse but this one was replaced with new one). again i connect the wires properly and replace the fuse now it was working fine. but i am worried about the incident which happened to me. will it be any problem to the car wiring or to the car now or later on? i am totally upset?
    advanced thanks.

    Likely not. That's what fuses are for.

    Can't be ABSOLUTELY sure about anything......except death and taxes.
    But I've been an Electronics Engineering Technician for 50 years now and I'm pretty sure.
