I broke something on my dome light circuit
i installed a new radio and while i was working on it one of the hot wires hit a screw and sparked and it popped the radio fuse, now i have no power locks, dome light, courtesy light, or trunk popper. i checked all of the fuses including the power acc fuse and it shows fine on continuity test, i have also pulled the harness off of my cig lighter and checked both door push switches for good grounds, im stumped.

Whats your car? If a camaro, theres another fuse/relay box on the right side of the steering column under the dash. There is another fuse for the radio in there. The door tone module is also there with a relay or 2. Firebirds might be the same but not forsure.

In my chiltons manual, it shows the fusible links are down at the positive terminal of the starter and the battery.

I was thinking of running a new hot wire with a fusable link from the battery to the fuse block for these, which wire is it going into the fuse block that handles these.
