I was trying to replace the lighter bulb with an LED, resistor and all. it didn't work, so i reversed the LED and it popped. next thing i know my cluster doesn't light, and the left headlamp and left taillamp don't work.

i don't know what could have went wrong, i did everything correctly. green wire is +. it's the first time this has happened.
all signs point to a fuse, but i have no idea which one. i checked all interior fuses, they're ok. so yeah it has to be one from the engine. ^ah ok.
there are some parts of the cluster that do light up but others that do not.

The green/white wire is illumination + Green/black is illumination -. If you hook to illumination - it's grounded though the dimmer switch which can go bad too. The Ill+ includes the cigarette lighter, and the door switches. They are running only on 12V from the fuses.

Pretty much there is no good place to test there, unless you make a test cable from a 12v DC lighter plug. Try your overhead lamps, or directly from the battery, or the plug behind the lighter.
I have a friend who dropped a penny into her lighter. She kept blowing fuses. We couldn't figure it out. Once I figured out there was a penny down there, it was a PITA to get it back out. It's just a tight spot to work in.
