I wired up an overhead computer in my truck tonight and can't get the damn thing to even turn on. I've checked all the wires a good dozen times and everything is right. I get nothing at all when I turned the truck on. I have the power line ran to the #11 fuse and the ground is good. The CCD wires are taped into the OBD port. I don't have the temperature sensor wires hooked up yet but I wouldn't think that would prevent it from turning on. Any ideas?

For the 6 black wires, the wire closest to the clip I have the ground. For the next one in I have the power wire. Than #3,4 are saved for the Temp. #5 is ran to the black/white wire for the OBD port. #6 is ran to the purple/brown wire. The powerwire is connected to the #11 fuse.

Hm... It would be nice to see a picture of this.
The 2000 FSM, if I read this correctly, shows the following pins going into the trip computer itself:
1 - Fused B+ (which also feeds the overhead map lights)
2 - CCD Bus - (White/black)
3 - CCD Bus + (Violet/Brown)
4 - Temperature sensor
5 - Power ground
6 - no connection
7 - Signal ground for temperature sensor
8 - Ignition Switch power (fuse 11)

Don't be too sure that your screen is fried. That's a vacuum fluorescent display, and they normally have a brown spot near the edge of the screen.
Check your wiring. Better yet, get us a couple of pictures of the wiring harness going into the computer.

That's not a correct wiring pinout. You're supposed to have an extra wire somewhere that turns the trip computer on when you turn the ignition key, but it's not there. Also, that doesn't appear to be a valid Chrysler part number.
Can you take a picture of the back plate of your trip computer? I think you received a PCI bus trip computer by mistake.
