Default Blown Fuse? Help!

Hi everyone. I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT 4x4 Quad Cab with a cummins. Last night I was removing the stock power heated mirrors, and installing my new manual trailer tow mirrors. Per the instructions, I started on the drivers side. Took the door panel loose at the top, and unplugged thedriver side mirror. During the removal I bumped the powermirror adjustment ****, and heard the passenger side mirror moving. I looked up and the dome light went out. Now my radio,dome light, cargo light, and whonows what else is not working. I have checked all the fuses in the fuse panel in the door jam.Should Ilook for more fuses in the under the hood panel? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

That would be a good place to start.

All those items should be on seperate fuses though, so it seems funny that the radio is out too. Usually that only way you knock out that much stuff is if you touch a hot wire to the body / frame or if you actually blow the main fuse. But then, you loose everything and won't even get dash lights.

Will the interior lights turn on manually? I mean with the switch, not just opening the door.

If you turn the key on, does the radio come on?

Thanks for the response. No the interior lights will not work at all. Using the adjustment **** next to the light switch does nothing. I just noticed the radio not working this morning, and had to drive to work 21 miles with no radio. You can really hear that diesel running down the highway with no radio. LOL. I will try to look for more fuses that might be blown. Thanks.

There should be one fuse under the hood that controls all of it. I installed a remote start in my '01 Dodge 1500 and we blew that fuse. It should be one of the big boy fuses. Good luck
