Exclamation Radio and overhead console/ dome lights CRAPPED out on me

I need some help!!
The other day I was rewireing my Eclipse head unit and apperantly some wires got up against eachother (a few sparks ) Now I have no power to my head unit or my overhead console/ dome lights . I cant find a fuse for dome lights and the one labeled "radio" is fine.
Is there an inline fuse or something, or did I melt some wires???
Somebody PLEASE help me .

Same thing happened to me last week while installing a headunit in mine. The #12 fuse is for the dome lights/map lights. Its in a clip of some sort, just gotta figure out how to remove it. Replaced it and the lights were back to normal.

Unfortunately Im not sure bout the radio though, didn't happen with mine.

hope that helps

Where is the # 12 fuse located? Under hood or in the cab?
Thanks for the help.

FIXED IT!!
It was the #17 fuse in the cab, labeled IOD. I was in a little "case" and the part I could see (arc) was still in tact so I just figgured it was still good. I pulled it out and it was blown close to the base. Thanks for the help Quantrill.

I had one of the dome light switches wear out, stayed on all the time. Finally went to Dodge and the switch/harness for the dome light assy was only $14.00. Now it works like new. I also used a larger bulb in the drivers side, I do a lot of paperwork on the road, works fine, a lot more light.

IOD Also controls the A/C compresor.

I had the IOD fuse thing happen to me also.
