One more overhead / fuse question
Was trying to install LED's in the overhead console and ended up shorting the copper ribbons out killing the overhead light and the radio of all things. Checked the manual for fuse location and both the 5amp and 20amp fuses listed for the radio are fine. I couldn't find a location fo the overhead console lights. Anyone know which fuse they are. Only thing out are the overhead console lights and the radio

Turns out the power windows are out as well. Checked the 30 amp breaker for the windows in the fuse panel and it metered OK, so I have the overhead console lights, the radio head and the power windows out. Did I blow a relay? is there a fuse in a different location? The fuse panel diagram in the owner's manual isn't any help, Anyone have a better wiring diagram? Is there a relay in another location?
Anyone?

You lost the feed from the accessory delay or battery saver relay when you shorted the map light circuit to ground.
Okay, you actually lost both. Since the accessory delay relay requires the battery saver to supply power to it's coil so it can energize, focus on the battery saver relay. Check fuse F41 under the dash first, it should be ALWAYS HOT.
