Default Weird Electrical Behavior

Good evening everyone. Last night I wanted to jump the blue connector because of the ABS light flashing during driving. However, I jumped the wrong connector and saw a little spark as a result of that. I KNOW, I'M A DUMBA**.(I did jump the right connector and the ABS light did not throw any codes. Needed brake fluid) As a result, some weird stuff started happening:
  • Spot Lights and Ceiling light no longer work
  • When try to turn on one of the spot lights, the open door dash light illuminates and if you don't have your seat belt on, the key indicator goes on when you turn try to turn on one of the spot lights.
  • The outer part of the turning signal no longer illuminate.

The bulbs are still good on all fixtures. Any thoughts? Thanks guys!

That's my next step. I was wondering which ones though. Do I check the main fuse of the lights that are affected or?

Thanks!!!

Just check all the fuses! If a fuse is blown, some circuits can ground to others causing the wierd behavior you have.

I checked the fuses and found that the ICM fuse caused the issue. I plugged the spare and voila, all is back to normal. Thank guys for all your help!!!
