weird electrical problem

hey guys, so today i pulled my interior light down and put my beacon light wires thru the hole so i could turn the beacon on when i pushed the round knob all the way up for the interior light. so all worked well as i plowed, when i was done, i pulled the wires off the bulb and let them dangle (bad idea) i noticed that the beacon was flashing later that night when i was driving so i pulled the plastic cover off the interior light and went to move the wires and it sparked. right after that i lost power to my radio, my power windows and the two small interior lights on the sides but i still have the middle interior light working. any suggestions? i went thru the owners manual and cant figure out what fuse blew.

why would you want your interior light on while you're plowing? why don't you hook your beacon up to a switch?
