Exclamation Interor Lights (Door Ajar Lights, Dome Light, Trunk Light) Shorted Out

Hi Honda Accord Forums,
Just Wanting to post a quick question about my car. I have been exchanging the Bulbs in the Gauge Cluster, Climate Control, and Clock to Red LED's. In which case I was wanting to complete the set by replacing the courtesy door lights with the LED's as well. While I had completed the trunk, front driver side, and passenger side doors with the bulb change I had come into a problem with the back seat drivers side door with the prongs in which the LED bulb was to go in. So I was thinking in the moment and stuck my key for the car into the slot where the problem arose from. Only to realize that I had shorted out the car making none of the lights inside the interor (ex. Door Ajar Lights, Dome Light, Trunk Light). Now im stuck.
Please help me identify my problem!

Probably a blown fuse. I don't know which fuse number is for those lamps, but it's probably listed in your owner's manual.

Would that be true for all 3 light sets though? Like, all of them need new fuses now?

I don't know if all of those are on the same fuse?

Was gonna take up to an Advanced Auto Parts store to see if they could troubleshoot a little better. Would they be able to tell me anything do you think?

Your car has three fuseboxes, each one probably has a diagram under it's lid, saying what each fuse is for. Check em out...
1) fusebox in engine compartment
2) fuse box in end of dashboard near left-front door hinges
3) fuse box in end of dashboard near right-front door hinges

I'm sure Adv.Auto sells the fuses, whether they come out to help probably depends on whether they're very busy at the moment.

Just an update, I was very idiotic. I found the fuse for the interor lights. It's definitely blown. It was on the right side "Fuse #11 7.5A - Interor Light, Courtesy Light". I'm sure that's what the problem is. Going to fix it shortly and will be back to you with a fix or not. Thanks again!
