Default Electrical problem

I have searched the forum but have not been able to find anything mainly because I'm on my phone

I was working on my jeep at my girlfriends house because they have a garage and I normally disconnect the battery before doing anything but this time I did not and I shorted the roof light to the body and I lost the lights, power locks and my head unit any idea of what I fried?

There is a fuse in the under hood fuse box, it's called the AOD fuse and it will have a yellow plastic thing around it. This fuse comes from the factory not pushed in all the way so the dome light won't drain the battery during shipping and is pushed in during the PDI process ( pre delivery inspection). Check that fuse and see if it's blown.
