Ahh! Interior Lights Out After Clutch Repair, Guys at the shop claim to not know anything about electric... Options

I took my car in and it seems like the gents blew some fuses. First, they claim that the speedo and tach wasn't working when I dropped the car off. Not true. They fix it saying that it was a blown fuse. I jump in the car (after the shop closes) only to discover that my radio isn't working. On closer look, most of the interior lights aren't working either. The gauges light up just fine, so does the clock, and my dome and door lights also work.

The lights for the odometer and trip gauge are out, the radio is out (as is my amp, though I suspect its because the amp lead isn't sending it's voltage), and I can't seem to figure out what fuse it is. Any ideas? Is there a fusible link somewhere that I am missing? I haven't pulled out every fuse just yet (weather has been horrible this weekend) but was hoping to get some insight before I do.

Alright, I got in there and took a look at every fuse. They were all just fine... I was a little worried until I decided to take my head unit out. That fuse was blown, replaced it and gained all my missing features back (cig. lighter plug, odometer light, and most interior lights). My sub wasn't working and I went back and checked the amp only to discover that its 40 amp fuse was blown. Replaced that as well and now everything is A-OK.

I am a little concerned as to why this happened though. I took the car in for a clutch replacement and got it back with several blown fuses. Could it be because they didn't disconnect the battery or maybe they touched the leads together?

Either way, it's back in business and I'm happy.
