Audio and other shorts

Please someone help me. I have managed to screw up my car once again. Here's what happened: I got out of work the other day and noticed my driver side sun visor was really loose, the seam had separated - causing the visor to fall. I didnt have the means to fix it at the time, so I took it down (had to disconnect the mirror light wires to do so). At some point during this ordeal, I must have either touched the wires together or something. At that moment, I lost stereo power - no stereo, no screen, nothing. I also lost power locks (except when the key is in the ignition), obviously neither visor mirror works, and my trip resets to zero every time I turn the car on. I also noticed there is a delay between the time I turn the key and actual turnover. I checked all the fuses and none appear to be blown. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The only fuse that could be blown by shorting the visor wires together is the room fuse. Try replacing it.

Surely it's a fuse.

Check every fuse BOTH IN THE CAR CABIN AND UNDER THE HOOD with a multimeter set to continuity. Use the test points on the tops of the fuses for speed. Should be able to check them all in under 3 minutes. Remember some fuses can appear to be fine by eye, but are actually blown. I've seen it more times than I can count. Use the multimeter and be sure of your findings.
