Ok sounds like when you pulled the cover you shorted something out. It is important to know if you actually have a heat pump or a furnace. If you have a heat pump you must energize the reversing valve from the T-stat to make the outside unit shift from heating to cooling. Since you are starting to learn about HVAC look at the low voltage wiring on the outside unit. An orange wire from the thermostat to the outside unit is what would cause this shift. Do you have more than just 2 wires coming from the T-stat to the outside unit? Low voltage problems can be the most difficult to troubleshoot. Many so called techs can't even do it. Troubleshooting low volts is not a task for a newbie no offense meant.
