Hopefully quick wiring question for y'all. Fingers and toes crossed.

I swapped some Porsche 911 front seats into my LX450 over the past three weekends. In wiring power to the seats, I shorted the blue seat power wire for several seconds (re-used an OEM connector and had a hard time pulling it back apart) and heard a click in the dash. That blue seat power wire is now grounded, and my window switches have no power. All four windows are down. Good thing there's space in the garage.

I checked all of the fuses in the knee panel next to the dash speaker, and the fuses under the hood. They're all good. Would someone please tell me that what I heard was a circuit breaker and I just need to reset it and it's two inches to the left of a specific doohickey? Please? Tell me I didn't melt the harness.

Thank you in advance. I'll be sorting through the threads on how to order a wiring diagram.
 
A wire could of possibly shorted/popped/arced. And/or melted a wire to where it is now grounding out. If you had issues with the stock seats, the previous owner could of put a fuse in the wire, or an aftermarket breaker
 
Be certain the 30A FL Power fuse in the kick panel is not blown. That protects the blue seat wire and the window circuit and moon roof.

Yahtzee! I’m so relieved. Thanks.
 
Great! And I should clarify... its the left knee fuse panel... not kick panel.

That's pretty funny in that I was about to contort myself to get a look at the kick panel, but decided to see if there was a fuse that I had missed in the knee panel first. I don't have any experience with FL (busman?) fuses and hadn't checked either of those.
