I created a mess for myself by changing the stereo in my 2000 grand caravan and in the process got a few sparks. My radio, door locks , and dash gages were all dead when i started it up.
I checked the fuses and replaced the iod fuse. all other fuses in both locations are ok.
The radio works now but the gages still don't work.
please help with some clues

trace the wires running to the gauges for open or short circuits if none are found you may have fried the gauges when charging the radio post back with your results and i'll help you further with your problem

Gauges and PDL are off the body control module. I would suggest that you start by checking all the fuses again to the BCM. Inside the power distribution center, fuse #5, 15, and 28.
