Did I fry my CPU?

Well, as some of you know, I just got my first RX-7 a few days ago, and I think I may have already broken it. I took out the POS tape player that the previous owner had put in, and found a real mess with the wires. They cut off the factory plug and hard wired it in VERY badly. So I cut all the wires off and just let them hang out over the console. Well I was driving it today, and the wires were getting in the way of me shifting, so I tucked them back in the hole. I heard a spark and some of the idiot lights came on for a second, and the clock reset to 1:00. Now here's a list of symptoms that it's displaying
1. Clock resets to 1:00 every time I start it.
2. When the door is open, both the door and hatch lights come on at the same time.
3. When I flip the switch to turn the dome light on, it doesn't come on, and the door and hatch lights come on.
4. Key beeper doesn't work anymore.
5. Passenger side door lock will lock, but not unlock.
6. None of the interior lights work anymore, except for the dash when the headlights are on.

This is in a 1990 GXL. I'm hoping this is something simple like a fuse, but I can't go check it right now because it's too dark outside. Please help me if you can.

when u replace the fuse, make sure the wires that touched the first time arent touching still, otherwise u might just blow the new one.

If the wires are still tucked in there, melt some shrink wrap over the end of the wires that get 12v.
