EDIT: It was the stupid fuse. Everything's back. Yay and sorry for posting before checking.

Looking for help and guidance with this dome light situation in my 1990 FJ62.

The timeline goes like this:

Dome light had been out for a few weeks (don't know exactly when it happened). Everything else working (clock, radio, etc.).

Yesterday I replaced front speakers, everything working great. Took a drive at night with music, all good.

Late last night I went to replace the dome light bulb thinking that might fix it. While trying to remove the bulb by prying a bit with a screwdriver I saw sparks fly from the connection, which tells me power is getting to the dome light. Bulb replacement didn't do anything, still not working, but now my clock and radio are also out. Everything else works (blinkers, wipers).

I've read the main suspect might be the Dome fuse. Anyone who experienced this have any help?
