Which fuse? Mirror, AC, Heated Seats all out

I accidentally shorted the wires behind the rearview mirror while hardwiring my nav unit and radar detector. It seems a fuse blew.

So now (from what I can see), the following things are out: Mirror, all climate control (AC/Heating), Heated Seats incl lights on the buttons and the fuel gauge (shows empty and I am getting a warning about the mileage left).

Any ideas which fuse(s) are out, so I don't have to pull each one to find out? Not even sure if it's an engine compartment one or one in the car..

Thanks!

I think I accidentally touched the middle ground wire to the switched, there was a tiny spark. Then I noticed all those systems were out. Btw, I had the car running so I could see when the connection was actually made (probably not a good move).

It looks like it is fuse #6 in the engine compartment. It is a 10 amp fuse and it looks like it stands in the middle by itself of the fuse block.
