Exclamation Which fuse/relay did i blow up in my 03 F150?

So tonight i accidentally shorted out my dome light/ map light. Upon doing so I heard the snap of a fuse, as it's dark and cold out I haven't taken the time to investigate every fuse. I did determine that it runs, the dash lights, headlights, radio and power locks/ keyless entry all still work. Any idea which relay or fuse I may have roasted? The fuses I determined might be guilty appeared fine when i removed them, so I am wondering if i toasted a relay? Help!

after reading a few "similar" posts w/o very definitive answers When I head outside to solve this issue I will check to see if my wiper motor still operates, as it appears it may be on the same circuit as my dome light and windows based on other posts.

Have you read the fuse chart in the owner's manual? If you don't have one, you can download it.

I have, there is no specific power window or dome light fuse. I have surmised that if my wipers are out along with the dome and power windows I may have blown fuse #11. Other threads have indicated the wipers out along with those two items. It was late last night when I caused my problem, I only checked the windows and dome light. I'm headed outside to continue the investigation shortly.
Thanks for the link, I'll add it to my arsenal of info

The overhead lights, as well as ton of other things, all rely on fuse f14 in the CJB.

The circuit is not simple, though. Lots of variables.

You were correct sir!

So, last night while freezing my butt off and hastily looking at it #14 by flashlight I didn't notice it was bad. It's still freezing out there, but in the daylight it was easy to tell it went south. New fuse installed, back in business!

Thanks everyone for your input, hopefully I can return the favor in the future!
