Unhappy Help! Ash-tray, temp *****, pass airbag indicator lights shorted out...

While installing some lights on my car looking for power I seem to have shorted out some lights. The Ash-tray/ Coin holder, Passenger airbag indicator, cigarette lighter port, temperature *****, and possibly the blue backlighting in the gauge cluster has all gone out, and I'm hopping its simply a blown fuse. After driving the car for a couple of minutes I noticed the airbag/seatbelt tensioner warning light on, I think and hope it is simply due to the malfunctioning/shorted indicator light but who knows, what I am asking is what fuse controls these lights and do you think it will fix the airbag light?

99% likely-hood you have blown your park-light fuse.

Could you locate it on this photo for me? http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/attac...8&d=1243626800 Or provide a better photo with a location?

Look in your fuse boxes.

What year is your car?

Try " ILLUM fuse, ROOM fuse, TAIL fuse.

Also maybe the TNS relay.

Sorry, it's a 2006. I did end up finding the ILLUM fuse and it was burnt out but I will check the others just to make sure. Thanks!
