Interior lights won't work after messing with cig lighter

I dropped a screw in my cigarette lighter socket and when I tried to get it out it sparked and my interior lights and cigarette lighter stopped working. Any ideas? Fuses are alright.

I know you said fuses are alright, but... that's a blown 'ctsy' fuse, yellow 20 amp. You sure you checked that one? Your hatch motor probably doesn't work either.

Simply Stop Smoking

If the fuses are OK you popped a wire.

Using a test light, check for power on the orange wire coming out of the fuse block from the ACC fuse.

Do you have power there?
