Experimented and failed

Was trying to install a power tap into the plug that powers the overhead console lights, garage opener, parking sensors, etc.

I did something when I tested, because now I have no power to the console and my airbag warning light is on.

Is this likely a fuse replacement situation or something maybe bigger? My car came with no extra fuses, and it appears the parking sensor and overhead lights are both 5A fuses, interestingly though one is located in drivers side and the other in passenger fuse box.

There was no info related to airbag warning and fuses in the manual.

Re 5A fuses, would this be any standard fuse that I can order through Amazon? Thanks for everyone’s help.

Once fixed, will route power down into the fuse box for my camera.

According to GTK, replacement fuses should be as attached.

The rear lights remained on even after turning car off and doors closed. Settings were lights fading out at 10s. Front/overhead lights including the ambient lighting remained off as a result if whatever I did. Garage door opener and parking sensor buttons too were not able to be turned on.

I dislocated terminals from battery to do a reset. Afterwards, now the entire interior lights will not turn on. Everything else remained the same. So I clearly did something there.

When I look at the manual, it shows different fuses for the overhead buttons and interior lighting. What’s further confusing, and maybe troublesome, is that the same fuse responsible for the interior lighting drivers side row B #4) also seems to be responsible for many things a that still work like the rear fog light and rear window screen heat.

I have a oil change scheduled for next Friday, so at least it’ll get addressed by then if I can’t figure it out beforehand.

Oh, and weird issues now with my drivers side window, like when I went to pull on handle after locking, the window came down slightly and never went back up. Ugh.
