No lights

Hey, I'm in the process of installing my 4th gen dash, and when I was wiring up the headlight switch, I accidently touched the red (power) wire to either the yellow or black wire. I don't really remember which one it was, wasn't really paying attention, but it happened and sparked a litt.e Now I have no power going to that red wire. No headlights, dome lights, gauge lights, etc. Gauges work fine though. I've done a lot of searching on here, and it seems I should check for a broken fusable link near the starter. Just wanted to get your guys opinions before I go crawling around in the snow

If your headlights and brake lights don't work either, check for a broken fusable link near the starter.

That's what I figured. I was just wondering if i's possible there's any more fuses I should be checking before?

Sorry, I'm just lazy and was hoping it could be something in the car. The grounds covered in snow, and I dred the thought of laying in it. I'm lazy
