ok, so i was trying to install footwell LEDs and was following ROTARY RASP's instructions on how to install...

as i was crimping the wires from the LEDs to the Blue wire w/ red stripe i see a spark...know that this isn't good i check to see if anything happened, and now my power locks don't work. my radio doesn't work. and my interior lights dont work at all.

i know i must of shorted something...but what is it? and any ideas on how to fix it?

Your looking for a blown fuse. Just check them all.

A fuse that has a melted center wire....pull them out with the tool ( white tweezerlike thing) and look at them..it will be obvious which one is burnt
