Exclamation Radio and dome lights GONE

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 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 .

I'm not sure if this is going to help you, but on a 2004, the dome light is controlled by the "instrument cluster". Try to find a fuse for the instrument cluster. The best I can tell in my manual is there are two fuses for the instrument cluster, fuses 18 and 22. If all else fails, check ALL your fuses.

A few other things that go in/out of the instrument cluster on the 2004 are:
Glove box light
High mount stop light/cargo light
Overhead map/reading light
Radio
Heated Seats
A/C Heater control

Good luck.

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.
