by george i think i got it! there's a little picture of a key and i pulled it out and found a little green box with some stuff in it. on the top of it it says 40 and if you pry it off i saw that the top of it is broken. i think that's it...

If I remember correctly, that yellow square, funnel like thing covers or hides a few more fuses that you want to check.... that's where the one I blew resides.....
In the picture where you see the red and ble fuses on top of the yellow label, the legs of the blue fuse point to the yellow thingie that I'm talking about

I'm pretty sure you can pick one up from the dealer.

Those two fuses in the yellow deal are for the dome lights, radio, and clock.

Check all the wires you spliced and make sure non of them got disconnected or burnt out. Also, check the positive terminal under the red cap on the battery. There is a built in fuse on the terminal.

Good to hear! Just to show when there is any electrical problems, check all the fuses.

It's unlikely that it's a special part. However, you might have to go to the dealer for it. Maybe if you take to the parts store they can find it's replacement.....
Good luck
