Question electrical mishap

just replaced the wiring harnesses for all door components all was well
until i refitted the dash in my stupidity i didnt tape up the radio wiring bare ends [NOT my doing some muppet previously cut the plugs off that as well]
any way the wires kinda decided to fuse together with a lot of smoke and now i have no windows heaters or lights
isnt a fuse does anyone know the relay or have i now shagged all my wiring
