Ahh! Interior Lights Out After Clutch Repair, Guys at the shop claim to not know anything about electric... Options

I took my car in and it seems like the gents blew some fuses. First, they claim that the speedo and tach wasn't working when I dropped the car off. Not true. They fix it saying that it was a blown fuse. I jump in the car (after the shop closes) only to discover that my radio isn't working. On closer look, most of the interior lights aren't working either. The gauges light up just fine, so does the clock, and my dome and door lights also work.

The lights for the odometer and trip gauge are out, the radio is out (as is my amp, though I suspect its because the amp lead isn't sending it's voltage), and I can't seem to figure out what fuse it is. Any ideas? Is there a fusible link somewhere that I am missing? I haven't pulled out every fuse just yet (weather has been horrible this weekend) but was hoping to get some insight before I do.

UGH...tell me about it. That's why I try to baby my car and, whenever I can, do maintenance and repairs myself. Not being the most auto mechanical person I know (I can usually handle the electric just fine, just not the "intimidating stuff") means that I usually have to take my car in when a major repair is necessary. I searched and searched for about two months trying to get one of my mates to take care of it but they were just too unreliable.

I must say that despite this small issue, this repair was the most "successful" one I have ever had. The mechanics didn't seem to create any new, $100+ repairs or pull anything shady like disconnect my airbox sensor (had these guys do that when the car sprung a brake fluid leak). And when the issues popped up, the guy who worked on my car actually stayed late and gave me his cell phone number in case I couldn't handle the issue. Nice guy, and desptie this, I would take my car to him again if I needed another transmission-related fix.
