Interior lights and switchs out of comission

I was trying to hook up my fan which was plugged into the fuse box and when I took it out and put it back in it sparked and the fuse light, hatch switch, side mirror switch, and interior overhead lights wont work. Anyone got any suggestions as to what this would be?

Those circuits are powered by the ACC fuse. Check it, it is likely that it's blown.

Which is the ACC fuse? and we tested the wire to the hatch next to the switch and there was no power so we disconnected it and hooked it to the stereo power wire and it worked. Would that still be the fuse or wiring problems? the lettering is rubber off my fuse box so i cant see which is the ACC
