Lost power with a spark

I was putting my center console back in after running my sirius radio and crushed the trunk latch wire end in my brake. The plastic end was all bent and I took the metal end out of the bent up plastic end. Then the bare metal end touched the cars frame under the carpet and spark. Now my radio, door locks, cigarette lighter, and overhead console are all dead. I checked what would be the fuse and could not find a problem. I know that chilton step in every project you disconnect the battery when working on a car but I didn't and now I need help. Did I fry all the accessories that share the line that go shorted out or is there a simple way to fix my problem?

It sounds like the accessory fuse it's happened to me too. Check em again I'm thinking it's that fuse.

I tried that fuse by switching the fuse from the power windows in the accessory fuse and still didn't work. Im going to double check the fuses one more time
