After a short,: no power to radio, climate control..

I was installing a new amp, and spliced the power lead for the stock radio to use as a switched turn on/off for the amp (red cable coming from the small adapter that also has speaker wires in it).
I screwed up and the switched connection came loose from the amp while I was testing it, and hit the case of the amp. Small spark and a pop. This sucked but I've had it happen before, and assumed I just blew a fuse.
I went through the fuses to the left of the driver seat in the dash, nothing was blown (specifically looked at fuse 37 which is the radio). No power coming through the lead cable, and also no power to my climate control, AND the temperature readout in the instrument panel is now blank.
Hopefully there's a secret fuse or something I'm missing.. otherwise I really franked something.
This is my first post on the forums but I use them extensively for research. I searched for a while and couldn't find an answer. Thanks in advance.

yup, gotta love these forums man. Fuse 5 was checked, as well as every other damn fuse in the driver side box - I get up this morning, really needed to fix this radio , climate control etc. Pulled the #5 Fuse and there it was, the black spot on the plastic! Thanks, much love from the future to the past.
