Great, I broke something...

I was trying to take the headliner out so I could paint it black and was stuck on the light thing thats in the center, I tried to pry it out with a flathead screwdriver and it wouldn't come out, so I kept trying and then snap there was a spark, wtf. My cd player went dead, the clock stopped working, and my mileage for the day went back to 0. I tried unscrewing the wire to the battery for 15 seconds but that didn't seem to help. Another thing this affected is when the car is off, all the doors wont lock or unlock from the inside or outside of the car unless the car is in On or started.
Someone pls help, I can't afford to have a major problem
Could it be a spark plug or something?

Ummm. Did you check all the fuses? Sounds to me like you shorted it out (why it sparked). Which caused a fuse to blow.

they look fine or they are fine? you need to pull them out and check them all carefully. just buy a pack of fuses from walmart or something and start troubleshooting what fuse can be a problem. thats the only thing that could have possibly happened.

Every once in a while my cd player, clock, dome light, and locks will not work. But after a while it will all come back on. All my fuses are good and I dont know what causes it. It only happens maybe once a month, but it is annoying.

check the fuse box under dash and in engine compartment. (like they said) Also check the wires that you jacked up in the dome light. you may have nicked a wire and it may be coming in contact with something.
