problem with dodge neon interior lights

I have a 98 dodge neon. i had my radio out to rewire a speaker wire that came undone. while i was in there i decided to re-tape all my wires to be sure they were okay. as i did the main power cable, it slipped out of my hand and touched the metal housing for the radio. it blew the radio fuse. i replaced it but didnt have any power to the wire. i just ran a new wire directly from the battery. but since then my DOME LIGHT and TRUNK LIGHT will not work. ive checked their fuse many times and its fine. the bulbs are fine have replaced them both. the sockets aren't getting any power at all. all other interior lights are fine. ANY IDEAS ON WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE?

There IS a blown fuse somewhere.  The fuse will not be labeled radio.  It will possibly labeled Dome.

And what is the first rule...Dis-connect power first......Some cars have more then one fuse box...Some are under the hood , backseat , trunk ,  door jamb , etc... Also...did you fuse that new wire you ran from the battery...? If not,insert a fuse close to the connection you made at battery...!M.E.C.P & First-Class

ive checked every damn fuse in the piece of doodie. every one is good. so it is not a fuse. the service manual says the dome and trunk lights are on the same fuse as the dash illumination lights but my dash lights still work

Are there any empty slots in the fuseboxes?

man i just had the same thing happen to me today no joke please tell me if you figure that doodie out my dome and radio dont work my interior lights didnt work untill i change the 4 watt fuse but now i changed all my fuses and that didnt change anything please help if you can

A four watt fuse! Really, are you serious? Are american cars that bad! LOLcommit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

I know it's not the right way but try running a wire from ur ignition with a inline fuse (15amp) and tap it to ur constant wire or depending on the wire that needs power. Hope this help with the radio for sure and hopefully the dome light.
