Fuse or Relay gone bad.

I was cutting some wire, and touched two of them together, and didn't disconnect the battery. Well now none of the lights work inside the truck (dome and glove box light)

I think I blew a fuse or a relay. Any ideas?

Check the 15 Amp fuse in position 14, it is probably blown. If it isn't, you may have damaged the Interior Lamp Relay, or Battery Saver Relay. Better hope you didn't fry the GEM with the Central Timer Module.
What color(s) were the wires you cut? It sounds like they were Black/Lt.Blue.

Light Green/Orange is also served by fuse 14 (15A). That set of wires serves the Engine Compartment Lamp, Glove Compartment, and Map Lights. It is monitored by the Battery Saver Relay, and has a lead off the Main Light Switch which controls the Dome Lamp.

Still havn't had the chance to check it out. I will probably in 30 or so minutes.

If its blow it would be black looking I'm guessing?

If not, what else would it be?

If you look at the fuse, it has a thin piece of metal that goes into the plastic. It should be solid.

If it is broken...the fuse is blown.
