Gauge/Radio wiring help

While wiring my Prosport gauges...(which I clearly messed up) I wanted to test the power source so I grounded the gauges... touched the power to the radio clip's power and they worked for as long as I held it, then I tried one more time to confirm and heard a small pop(blown fuse) and the gauges no longer worked... My radio doesnt work now either... I checked my fuse panel and couldnt find a blown fuse there. any suggestions? dash is currently apart...

My owners manual fuse setups look completely different then fuse panels themselves so I dont know which is which...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Fixed... the dome light of all thigns in the engine bay fuse panel (in the yellow clip) was the problem. everything works now.

so check every single fuse on your fuse box. And some radio has a in-line fuse by hot wire, check that one too !!!

Checked each fuse twice, nothing, all were in tact

I tried finding one on the wire but no luck. I took a volt meter to the radio RED going to the clip, its getting power... the orange(illumination?) is not getting any power. Nor is the yellow(constant)

Also my clock doesnt work Nothing but my A/F Gauge and boost gauge work whenever I have the car turned on ACC. no door chime nothing... eeek

Did you check the fuse panel in the car and the one under the hood?
