You have it wired back to front then Firstly what make of car is it. Secondly what have you got the wires connected to.
Best way is to do it properly and connect it to two fuses with Addafuse taps.
How to do it Get a multimeter and find a fuse that stays on always. By always I mean check after about 40 mins that it is still on. Attach multimeter and lock up car and go away and if after 40 mins its still live use that one for yellow wire DONT USE AIRBAG FUSES Then try others with the key in ACC position Turn key off and see if you lose power If so use that one for the red wire Check for a screwhead that is earthed by shorting it to somewhere like a door hinge. DONT STICK WIRES DOWN THE SIDE OF FUSES. unless you have a speed dial to fire service.
I have 2 VW's that are really touchy to do and thats how I do mine Look like this but cant buy those type of fuses any more. They are in spare fuse slots that have power on one side and you can use an addafuse the same way you just dont need the bottom fuse in a slot like that
