Messed up Interior Electrics - Help

So my passenger side sun visor broke a bit and has been hanging down from mount, so I tried to remove the wires from the visor (the red and black ones that control the little light near the mirror). I got the black one out perfectly fine but the had some issues getting the red one off and it broke.

When it broke, my radio immediately went off and the only thing on my head unit that works is my ac. Additionally, none of the interior lights work, my door locks do not work, and my cobb accessport is unresponsive when I plug it into the OBD port.

I'm guessing I just blew a fuse when I snapped the wire but I can't figure out which fuse would have blown because those are all on different fuses. My power side view mirrors still work.

Could it have been like a master fuse or something of the sort?

Thanks

The "room" fuse could definitely be it. One way to find out, it's inside the cabin in the fusebox under the driver's side dash. May as well check them all.

Next time please do not do "electronics" stuff without having the car off and battery unplugged.. but yes, a fuse is probably blown. Check where Loki said.

Hi. I want to know if you find the problem at the "room fuse". I made the same mistake with same results. Thanks!
