Start with going back and closely re checking your work. Look for anything on/around the mike jack that may be shorted or any little solder blobs that may have made there way in while you were working.
Pictures of the area if possible help members spot things amiss....

Don't know if a 2011 radio still used the front-panel slide switches with wires soldered directly to the lugs on the back. If so, did any of the wires get pulled hard enough to bend a lug and cause it to touch the one next to it?

Gotta figure something has been mechanically disturbed during the procedure.
