Unhappy I need help! Electrical problem

So a few weeks ago I was driving to work and came to a stop light and everything just died I put it in park and went to restart it and got nothing and I have my starter on a push button and it was turning over but the jeep lost all power to everything and I got out checked everything a other jeep owner stopped and asked what was going on and he was lost I got it towed home and dropped the steering column and hot wired the ignition and got the motor running and then I put my brown acc wire for radio heater and wipers and stuff they turn on but when I turn on the heater my radio turns off and the volts on the gauge drops hella and I changed all ground's in the engine bay and the one on the drivers side kick panel and then went to start it and the motor runs rough like rich or lean can anyone save my jeeps life it's driving me nuts!

I don't wanna sound rude, I am not sure anyone can chime in and give advice on your problem when you already said that you have it on a pushbutton and hotwired the ignition, wired the brown acc wire to....Like I said, I don't think anyone will be able to help now after the fact stuff has been altered. If it were stock and untouched, they may have been able to point you in the right direction.

I would start with some good wiring diagrams or FSM.

Okay where's a good wiring diagram I been looking around and what would make a motor run rough after changing grounds? I need a wiring diagram for the heater radio and wipers because that's my main issue when I turn on heater and wipers the volts freak out
