I feel like im spamming the forum with my questions like everyday sorry, still learning

So i decided to hook up some LED strips (previously installed them in computers and a mates Daihatsu charade

Today i made the mistake of not disconnecting the battery :/ oops

I hooked up about 2 LEDs worked fine went to go do the driver side door and it worked but accidentally broke my soldered joints on the LED strips so i went and bought some new wire then i think while i had it hooked up to the driver side courtesy light the touched eachother and shorted out aha classic electricity then all the interior lights stopped work hmm lets go back to stock and try again nope

So obviously a fuse took like 3 of my family members to figure out how to take the yellow cover off in the fuse box lol and replaced both fuses then the radio (headeck) wont turn on so i replaced that fuse too still no fix all exterior and dash lights work but courtesy lights back side lights and boot wont work also my click clacks (remote) wont unlock or lock so i tried reprogramming them to make sure and it beeps whenever i press the button on the remotes??

Many thanks and kind regards

It'll be a fuse in the kick panel on the drivers side.

Most probably the interior light fuse.

Ive just done similar thing trying to replace the cabin light bulb. DUH. As far as i can tell all the fuses in the kick panel are intact. My owners book shows a fuse in the engine bay fuse/relay block as being for the interior light. Except on my car (2004 TW Awd) there is no fuse in that location, - as in empty space. The workshop manual that I have (from this site) doesn't really show the location of individual fuses ???
I have no interior lights, no central locking, and I think no immobilizer. The boot release works from inside the glove box. The odo display come up with the 4d as if the battery has been disconnected and the speedo and tacho needles are pointing vertical.
The car starts ok and I can reset the odo display. When its running the speedo and tacho go back to normal. when the engine is switched off and the igntion turned back on the 4d is up again and the gauge needles go back to vertical. Surely there has got to be a fuse for the interior lights somewhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

After doing some more research on these forums, I narrowed it down to a blown fuse in the yellow clip in the engine bay fuse block. The yellow clip was quite hard to get up and I had to resort to using pliers to pull it up. New fuse and all good again.
