Default Help! Electrical Issue!

I was Replacing the overhead light in the cabin today and accidentally arced the two tabs together. (Don't ask me how) >.> and unfortunately since it was a lightbulb change I didn't have the battery disconnected and I think it blew a fuse but I checked all the fuses in the fuse box under the drivers side dash and they all seemed fine. I also replaced every single one to be sure. And it still doesn't work. But there is a list of things that went out with it.

Not Working Components:
Overhead light
Overhead reading Lights Front
Radio/CD Player (dono if the disc tray ejects)
Steering wheel (the electric adjustment)
Power Door Locks
Lights on the seatbelt buckle
Security Light
Green Light on the door handle outside to guide your key


Components that have issues:
Heater control, after turning off and restarting the car it does not return to the previous settings as it did before.
The clock on the heater control everytime the car is turned off resets.
The dash lights dim slightly everytime the car is turned off and on again. (turn the **** and they go back full brightness.)

So any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!

double check the fuses as iirc the interior lighting fuse is INSIDE.

then start checking the fuses under the hood (drivers side)

yep should be under a long box, above the location of the battery.

You more than likely blew out the DOME fuse (mine was in the engine bay). That's what I did when trying to probe some wires.
