Blown Fuse - HELP!!!

I did something really stupid and am hoping there is a way out.

I am installing a radar detector. For a 12V supply, I tapped into one of the interior fuses (#2) inside the drivers dashboard lower cover.

I forgot to take the negative terminal off the battery and when I was fooling around getting the fuse tap situated, I hit the hot wire to ground (chassy). Yes, there were a few sparks but I pulled it off pretty quick.

Needless to say, there is not 12V coming from the #2 fuse now. The fuse is not blown. Now, my fog lights don't work, either. It appears that a fuse was blown (a fuse to protect a fuse?).

Any suggestions as to how to recover this most unfortunate mishap will be greatly appreciated


Thanks for the help,
Jim

Check for blown fuses under the hood above the drivers side wheel well.

Hope this helps.
