2001, touched a wire wrong, now have no more interior lights

Post by twistedkeys »

So I replacing my driver's visor, it was impossible to unplug the visor so i ended up snipping it. Once I snipped it, it sparked and all of the interiors lights (lamps, door lights, etc. nothing vital) died. I was wondering where to start with this, is it just a fuse? or did I blow out the bulbs? or what. Could I get some direction on this?

It's a blue 10 amp fuse in the panel under the back seat

I saw there was one that was labeled interior lamp, that was a 10 amp, but then there was another labeled the same thing that was on of the large square fuses, not sure if you can check those? but I'll take a look at it

For future reference, I believe there is a connector taped to the inside of the headliner at the corner.
