Recently i left the lights on all day and killed the battery so I tried to jump it but hooked up the cables backwards and burned a main fuse, i believe it was a 55 A. I replaced it charged the battery and all was good except the radio didn't work and the dash back lights wouldn't work. In the fuse box there is a 15 A fuse labeled radio but it was fine so i looked at my radio and in the back there was a burnt 15 A fuse, i replaced it and the radio works fine. So i began to look at other fuses and one (15 A) labeled instrument lights, rear lights, license plate lights (all of which were not working) was burnt so I replaced that. Here's where it all gets really weird, I replaced it and now the license lights work fine and my rear lights work fine but when i turn the headlights on I still get no back lights, the dashboard clock dims, and the gear indicator on the dash next to the gauges goes off (its just a list with a box around each letter type of thing, the box lights up indicating what gear your in), if i unplug the fuse for instrument lights, rear lights and license lights the clock doesn't dim and the gear indicator light doesn't go out with the headlights turning on. I've spent hours staring at all the wiring with no knowledge whatsoever of what's going on in there and i'm stumped, please help
