I was taking out my door panel light and I assume I completed a circuit. This killed everything, all of my interior lights, my keyless, I can't even open my gas door. I checked all of the fuses twice, they are all ok. What can I do to fix this, I'm running on 1/8 of a tank and I can't open my gas door.

First, check the owners manual for the manual gas door release. It sounds like you blew a fuse or fusable link? Check all of those too, I think there may be some near the other fuses or under the hood. Also, from the sound of it, it sounds like your Comfort Control Module might have went out. Do a search on the that to see if that CCM has the same characteristics as your are having.

Thanks for your help Kevin
Does anyone know where the other fuses that aren't in the fusebox are? I looked through manual and searched around but couldnt find anything. Thanks for your help I'm clueless about this subject.

There are several under the lower dash panel. Try those.

I had the same issues when my comfort control module went out (CCM). Of course my gas lid is still broken from prying it open...of course this was 10 mins after I just got the CCM replaced by the dealer...but the problem was with the wiring.

In saloon on the side from steering wheel, you must have drivers door fully open to access it.

If you pull the lower dash panel, (4 torx screws and it drops down after removing the headlight switch) you'll see about 4 or 5 fuses mounted around the relay block. Ignore the two above relay 173, those are for the accessory outlets, I'd check the rest out tho, might have blown a main bus fuse somewheres.

Try fuse #14 but check it with a multi meter .. I blew mine taking out the trunk light and I lost all those things too.

Does your car start? Everytime?

Try giving the area below the drivers feet a couple of heels, or fists. That is where the CCM is, and if the wires are bad that might get a little contact...or make it worse. Either way you'll know.

I'm pretty sure my CCM is fine, I have an '03 and this happened at the exact moment I took the light out. My car still starts fine
I gutted my dash at like 3am yesterday, checked those fuses and got nothing.
I'm going to try #14 real quick.
