Problem: Grounded Wire

My friend while putting my boost gauge hose back on bumped the wires on the gauge and it must have grounded the wires inside, because i saw my cluster light flickering and suddenly turn off (car was on with interior lights on). open up the boost gauge and see about .5cm of bare positive and negative that could be the probable cause of grounding each other...

Symptoms:
Fuses are still good
0 Current to the cig. lighter light, when parking lights on(tested with multimeter)
A/C cluster not lighting up
cig. lighter light not lighting up
speed/tach/gauges cluster not lighting up

Attempts to fix:
Checked Fuses
Disconnected boost gauge wires and separated cig. lighter light wires so as not too touch

If anyone has any suggestions or if there is some sort of unknown fuse box that i don't know of please let me know. I know of the one in engine bay and by dead pedal.

Thank You,
Steven M.

How did you check the fuses? You can't just look at them and tell sometimes.

You need to test them with a multi-meter. And don't forget the ones under the hood as well as in the drivers kick panel.

I would also be checking the plug at the back of the light switch.
