Question cluster, radio, int. lights and keyless entry dead!!

the other day i was attempting to take out what was left of the headliner, just a bit above the windshield and a little piece around the dome light. somewhere along the way my radio, gauges, key fob, and power locks stopped working. power locks will unlock and sunroof works and horn and turn signals work and instrument panel is still backlit but none of the gauges work. im electrically stunted and have no idea how to resolve this issue, ive checked fuses and the ground near my sunroof but everything appears to be in order. any help will be greatly appreciated

First thing to do would to be to check your fuses under the dash, I know a lot of those things all run of the same fuse (depending on year). Then I would check for any wiring you have on your roof.

Did you take down the headliner or rip it out? You could have damaged some of the wiring. I know in mine, when I took the headliner out I have a line of wires above my windshield and they run straight to my front dome light. If cutting I could have easily destroyed them. Just take a look and let us know.

if it popped once it may be a short and is bound to pop again. Any problems since?
