Angry fuses

Hi i was fitting another radio in my car and a live wire must of shorted out.The result of this is
1: i have no alarm
2: No interior light
3: No central locking
4: No radio
i have checked all the fuses inside the fuse box and under the bonnet is there any more fuses to check.Or what else could it be.The car still starts it a 1999 uk spec

It will be a fuse.........blade fuses are notorious for bLOOKING OK but being blown, the only true way to check is to replace said fuse with a KNOWN goodun, or use a multimeter to test the suspect one.

Try fuse 9, counting from top left.
