Electrical problem

While changing out a light bulb in a door panel I had to use pliers ( bulb was broken ) I knew I would blow a fuse but it has taken out the dash board, power windows and even the radio I have checked the CB 601 and that's fine any ideas what to look for next ?

Not knowing what year...I think 41 instrument cluster would be a good start...not sure why but 35 is also listed as instrument cluster.

For some reason when the lights in my running board burnt to a crisp, it took out the same elements...I think it was 17..Those should be good numbers...

Thanks, running board lights are out also and your right it is # 17 for them but that's not the problem, it seem to be whatever relay,circuit breaker or fuse that feeds those circuits all fuses in the panel ate good !

Fuse F41 feeds all those lights via a relay in the instrument cluster.
