Icon2 '94 Accord: Dash illuminating light, day lights out after jumping car

So recently I had to jump my car, and I think the way they attached the cables it blew out some of my electrical.
They tried to attach the negative cable to the chassis and there were some sparks when doing it initially. The car wouldn't jump is the negative was on the battery terminal.

After this, I've had issues with my rear lights except for hazard and turn signal. Also my dash illuminator is off so I can't see my speed etc at night, and the dinger that rings when you door is open doesn't turn on.
Headlights work fine but I don't think the day lights on the front work.

It seems like this is an issue, where all of these stop working at once after searching the forum, but I never found a good answer.
I've tried checking the fuses inside the car, and under the hood and nothing looks suspicious.

ok... so after reading about which fuse it could be, and checking a diagram I changed the fuse that looked busted. The problem is, after I changed it with several different 7.5 fuses the problem isn't fixed. I checked the light bulbs and they aren't blown.

Problem solved, but not without a casualty. I lost my fuse puller in the fast expanses of my engine bay.... uhg.
The problem was fuse #32, 15Amp described as: Dash Lights, parking lights, taillights, license plate light.

right, and a more constructive comment would have been, have you checked fuse #32?

pfff, you said you had checked all the fuses and acted like the other guy was an idiot for telling you to check them again. Maybe you should use your own advice, not be an *******, and then a hypocrite.
