dome light removal caused short

Today I went to remove my dome light to replace the headliner. I grabed some plyers to remove the circular clips. When the plyers touched the metal they sparked. Later I realized that I lost my stock stereo (only makes static sounds), power locks, center console compartment light, and dome light Radio fuse is good, but fuse labeled ctsy or something close to that is fried. Does anyone know what this fuse controls?

Would lossing axcess to the dome light by replacing the headliner be a bad idea?

How do you put the plastic dome light piece back on once the clips are removed?

I also lost power to the button that opens the trunk. I already removed the dome light plastic pieces and droped the headliner, I was just wondering if the problem could be with the light fixture or wiring.

dome light

Dude, I did the exact same thing! All you did was blow a fuse. Go under the dash, assuming you have your manual, and replace the fuse...Takes a 20amp. If ya need a pic of the fuse box and which fuse it is...PM me
