WTF? Blown fuse?

Sheet mon, I leave the IROC with the wife for a day so she can take it into the local shop and get the damn smog test done so I can renew the registration. The good news is that it passed the test. BUT...now, the dome lights don't work any more. Neither does the power mirrors. Nor the electric radio antenna. And the guys disconnected the damn battery for some reason, because the clock is wrong. Jeez..... I hate having to fix the car after letting someone else work on it. Anyway, sounds like a blown ACC fuse, no? It's been raining like hell so I haven't gone outside to look into it yet. What say you? Thanks!

sounds like a blown ACC fuse, the clock is wrong because the radio gets it's memory power from the ACC fuse, put a fuse in it and see what happens

Thanks, but the problem is deeper. The ACC fuse was indeed blown. I put in a new one and it blew immediately. ****e... I hate electrical problems. There must be a short in the damn wiring somewhere.
