No, that's a ground (earth) wire. You may have shorted something to that but shorting that to ground will do nothing.

Red wires will have 12V all the time
Orange/with a coloured stripe will be switched 12V

... but there will be other wires with power on them too, depending on where you were fiddling and whether the ignition was on.
