Default Electrical.. issue? Need help...

I was under the fairing, in the process of doing something with my USB, and saw this little piggy. It is a P&A plug, so I got my tester out, and was going to see how it was powered.

I inadvertently touched both pins with one lead from my tester, and shorted it out.

I'm old, I thought, OK, so I popped a fuse.

All the fuses are good, but no power at that plug, the cigar plug, and my passing lamps are out.

Suggestions before I take it in for the embarrassment?







And before I get told to ....

I did. Still lost.

Shut it off 10 m in and retry, may be a short stop which is circuit protected by bi-metalic switch. Short=curly metal ppen switch, cool down= reset circuit

It was shut off over night, with no luck.

I was hoping for that...

Unhooked the battery, and double checked the fuses.

Last night every fuse tested good, today found a bad one, labeled P&A.

Reckon I should have double checked myself before I posted...

Back to normal, all is right with the world.

Thanks for the help!!
