Electrical problem

I was trying to remove the engine fused to try and de-flood my car but since I don't have the fuse cover I pulled the wrong one now my passenger power windows wont work nor my stereo. What do I do? I did manage to de-flood my car though.

Profile says '88 convertible, so....

Did you pull fuses from the interior fuse box? Only the 80A main fuse and the 60A BTN fuse feed the interior fuse box. Unless you mixed up fuses there, the problem is going to be at the interior box. Go to the 2nd gen FAQ for pictures of the fuse box covers: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/frequently-asked-questions-2nd-generation-rx-7-faq-fc-494667/. It sounds like you mixed up some fuses / left one out.

Alright I'll check if I put the fuse back in the right place.
And I did in fact pull out the fuse from the interior fuse box. (I guess thats not where the de-flooding fuse is?lol)

Also my reverse lights won't light up either, but that may be a cause of burnt bulbs (not too sure).

Nope, to disable fuel injection you pull the green 40A EGI INJ fuse from under the hood.

If the reverse lights worked before, I think there's a fuse related. If not, the reverse switch is likely unplugged (on the transmission).

Well it seems that I have more electrical problems than I thought I had. As I was rummaging through wires in the trunk I found one of the previous owners had snipped some random wires, wth? I fixed one of the wires and the brake light on trunk lid started working. As for the reverse switch I'd have to check that out, why would someone switch it off?? Thanks.
