Electrical question

I was installing a mega-third brake light on my 2005 F150 SCREW. I have blown something because now I have no dome lights, instrument cluster, power windows, or stereo. I have checked nearly all of the fuses (I tried to figure out which ones would be related).

Is there anything else I should be checking?

Thanks much in advance.

if all the fuses are ok, it must be a relay under the hood... get out the manual, start reading...

does the truck start and run ok??

You had mentioned that you checked the fuses, did you test them with a meter or just did a visual check. I the past I've looked at the fuses and then when I tested them with a meter found some to be open.
