Default blown a 50amp fuse - help please

98 classic sti, import v4.

I was fitting my new flocked under dash last night and it was all going great.

However, I must of touched, dislodged something or other as when I went to start her up I had no igntion lights.

So, I opened up the fusebox to see that a 50 amp had blown.

I replaced it, but it blew again as soon as I turned the key, so I obviously still have a fault somewhere.

Problem is though, that I have had the dash apart again and I cant see anything that I have coupled up incorrectly, any broken wires, etc etc

Can anybody lend me some assistance, otherwise car is off the road and I only just got it back from getting the oil leak/timing belt done

Would really appreciate your speedy help folks. Plus anybody that could mail me a wiring diagram that would be good too.

There's one behind the centre console where the heater controls are and another down by the bonnet pull and If I remember rightly also one up behind the cluster toward the bulkhead.
