Electrical problem
1994 Chevy Lumina 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Please help me. I accidentally dropped a penny in my cigg lighter and after I removed it I realized I had a big problem. Now my door locks won't unlock or lock, there are no interior lights other than dash lights and obviously the cigg lighter won't work. I checked the fuses in the glove box and under the hood and none are blown. I was out looking at it today and when I pulled the fuse (in the glove box) labeled Elec something strange happened. Just as I was putting the fuse back in the door locks would make a clicking nose everytime I touched the fuse to the socket but when I put it fully in the doors still wouldn't work. Any ideas??? Please help me this is driving me nuts.
