All, i have fixed this issue.
There was one fuse that was blown and it was the BACKUP FUSE in the fuse box located next to the engine. It turns out my Kenwood GPS system had the ground wire and power wire loose which caused a short on this system. I tightened the wire after discovering this, replaced the fuse with a spare one and everything is functional!!

Hello guys. On my 2012 Civic the IMID is dead after turn on and the power locks are also dead. I have to actuate them by hand. I already check fuses and relays, everything looks pretty well.
Do you have any clue or idea to see what's the problem is?
Thanks.

Hello, I have a 2012 Honda Civic LX and I ordered a kit from Aliexpress (https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNuV3TA) and I plugged in imid screen, connected blue wire to wiring harness’s red wire and connected the wiring harness itself, I also tried connecting the ground and power wire. When connecting positive wire (red wire) I connected it to ACC fuse. Then I connected the other wire (red and black) to ground. When I connected that to ground, my IMID screen went black. I also saw a small little spark when touching that wire to ground. Now my IMID screen won’t turn on even when I connected the original wiring harness back into the car and also, when my car is off I can’t lock or unlock the car anymore. It’s like my car doesn’t have power when it’s off. Any advice any help please? I am really worried.
Just an update, I managed to check it it was the screen that went bad or what but it’s NOT the screen. I’ve swapped it with another screen and turns out that is also not working. Horn seems to work when car is off (key not in car) but doors still won’t lock or unlock. Starting to think it’s a problem with ecm?? Not 100% sure but if anyone has any expertise it would be really appreciated. (Doors lock and unlock when car is on) ( doors also don’t lock or unlock with manual buttons on door itself.)

Without knowing exactly what you did, I do know that the iMid has a safety feature whenever there's a spike in voltage, for example when your battery dies and you need a jump. The iMid won't turn on, but after a few start cycles it eventually will. It's happened to me.
First, check your fuses under the dash, you probably blew a few of them. Also, disconnect your battery, wait 30 seconds or so and re-connect it to see if that helps with your iMid issue.
In the future, be sure to disconnect your battery before messing with wiring, or hire a professional if you don't know what you're doing. Hopefully you didn't ruin anything.

Hey, thanks for your response.
I work on cars quite a bit and I have taken most of the basic trouble shooting steps already, like checking all of the fuses under hood and inside, none of them are fused. I’ve also disconnect both terminals, touched them, left them unplugged for 10 minutes and put them back onto battery and it still didn’t solve anything.
Yes! And I tapped the red wire into ACC, was a 7.5 fuse and I connected the other black wire into ground. Check out the link I posted, it has a wiring diagram!
Yes that’s what I am confused about. I’ve done this so many times… this time only difference were the two wires that say Power(+) and Power(-)
I am thinking that instead of power (-) meaning ground, it actually means the negative wire of any accessory outlet. I think that may have been my mistake.
Yea.. afraid that was going to be the verdict. Think the ECM/ECU needs replacement? What would be the fix? I know something is fused, that’s for sure.. couldn’t find any fuses under the hood that may have been busted. Would checking relays be next step or swapping ECM/ECU?
