Default Lost dome lighs, radio and power mirrors

Last night I went to Circuit City since they were having a closing special. I ended up getting a Jensen dvd head unit and I tried to put it in in the parking lot. Needless to day I didn't get it working yet when (I think) I herd a pop and lost my dome lights. I didn't mess with anything that night until today. My dash lights come on but only when I turn on my head lights. I put in my stock radio to see if the radio still works and that gets nothing as well. I also tried to adjust my mirros and they don't work either.

I all my fuses on the drivers side and under my hood and all of them seemed fine. I replaced the radio fuse and still didn't have any luck. I don't really know too much about vehicles so I have no idea where to go from here. I guess next time I'll disconnect my battery, lol. I've done radios so many times and never unhooked my battery and this is my first time having a problem.

I'm also not too sure which fuse it could be, any help would be great.

I think it might have been on but not 100% positive.

Fuse 12, 10A in the cab should feed all of those things you are having problems with.

If that is good... then check fuse Fuse 1, 50A (in the power distribution center - under hood). That feeds a most of your interior stuff.

Good luck,
Cartman
