Why did it catch fire ? what did you hook up wrong ? Ignition switch is a input to the BCM - body control module , before you fry the BCM ,do yourself a favor an take it to a qualified repair shop.

Ask dealer if it has a towing package on it. If it does, you usually just pop fuse in under hood for electric brakes, and harness to adapt into is usually near or at rear bumper. Even if it doesn't have brake wire, you should still be able to install adapter at rear,for lights etc. which is available from dealer or auto supply places, then you may have to run electric brakes separate.

All the wires will be in the steering column, be sure that you got the correct switch, you may have the wrong one.

Find the wiring harness under the dash that goes to the door, and use barrel type splicers to reconnect the wires. First compare the wire colors to be sure they match.

I need electrical plan for pluging my radio ,for toyota echo 2005

If you are attempting to install an aftermarket radio Don't butcher the plugs on your Toyota ... simply go to a car stereo shop and buy an adapter plug for $10-$20 then wire it to your new radio ... then just plug them together (the wires on the adapter are marked) You'll likely need a dash kit too ... save yourself from a lot of frustration time and money! ....
