Pull them all until you find the one (or more) that are blown.

Use a volt/ohm meter to check all the fuses. Some might be bad, but still look ok

Similar deal installing a remote starter in my mom's car years ago. My "former" BIL (let's call him dip sh@t) tried to "guess" at one of the wire splices and before we could stop him it was sizzle...sizzle...pop...pop...pop. I think he blew almost every fuse imaginable & we're still fixing electrical glitches. Playing with electrical, if you don't know what you're doing, is a huge gamble...glad you fixed your problem.
