Default help installing push button start?

Hey guys I have a question, I bought a push button start for my car off of ebay and i need a little help installing it. The instructions that came with it just showed how the wiring on the back of the panel (this)

on the instructions all it says is my red wire is 12v, and i have two others; a black and a yellow one. I assumed (wrong) that i knew what I was doing so I connected the red wire to my 12V wire (I have a 95 accord, it was the white wire in my ignition harness) I thought the black wire was my ground wire so i grounded that, and I connected my yellow wire to my Starter wire (black/white wire in the ignition harness). reconnected my negative to my battery and a light on the switch panel turned on! I thought I was pretty much a god, but then I flipped the switch (light turned off) hit the black button and smoke from the back of the panel started to emerge. OOPS, wires were feeling HOT, ran to my battery and disconnected before I blew up half my town. Any help? thanks!

EDIT
heres the wiring diagram for my car. Here!

i really think you better take it to a local professional that works on car stereo's and car alarms..because the worse thing you can do is blow your wire harness(which can be replaced)

Never listen to what anyone at autozone says. When I was installing my nitrous kit a few years ago I didn't have a manual and the guy told me my map sensor was my tps sensor....good thing i didnt listen to him...
