Radio, dome lights and power mirrors out.

I am replacing my mirrors to the tow mirrors. I was hooking up the directional control and it shorted. It blew my radio, dome lights and power mirrors (not heat).
Can anyone tell me where the fuse for these are and what number?
I checked the cab fuses and underhood fuses. Is there a fusible link in that circuit?
Does anyone have a service manual that they could look it up in?
THANKS in advance!
I have it torn apart now and it is supposed to rain tomorrow.

Under the hood in the PDC. Should be a fuse that looks like it already has a "puller" on it. It's the IOD fuse. Look there!

It is the IOD. I had to yank on it. Why does it have that clip on it?
THANKS!

You can pull it halfway out and it holds it in place to be pushed back in later. Like if you are putting it in storage or something. IOD stands for Ignition OFF Draw. That way your battery won't ( Shouldn't ) go dead if the truck is sitting for a long time.

Gotcha!
That is a great piece of info!
I wish I would have known that when it was in storage for 2 yrs total lol.
Thanks again! You saved me from wasting a bunch of ammo!
