Unhappy Corolla Electrical Issues

So my cabin light has been going on and off and I've had to fiddle with it for it to work. Recently I kind of goofed up and instead of removing the light bulb to replace it by using my hands, I used the screwdriver I used to pop off the plastic cover. On top of that I forgot to switch the setting to off. Soooo, sparks flew and now my clock, radio, and cabin light don't work. I replaced the fuses but everything still doesn't work.

Anything else I can do? To make it all work again?

Re: Corolla Electrical Issues

Year and model helps. Otherwise we have to keep it generic.

There may be a main accessory fuse as well, or something has shorted out in the wiring harness. Look online for a wiring diagram for your year and model and trace back where all three parts have in common.
