Default Turn, Click , Nothing

Here’s the story, I was installing a wireless camera to my bumper and chose to use the right license plate lamp for power. All was well and checked out fine, during the final connection the wires touched and sparked. Now the darn thing won’t start. I turn the key I hear a click near from cabin fuse box area. No obvious blown fuses could be found, in either the cabin or under the hood. Surely I missed something? Or fried something ?
This is the fuse you spoke of, looks good to me

not always easy to tell you popped a fuse, Id grab the book and replace any fuses that have to do with that light circuit. Depending on how you had it wired up isnt there some sort of fuse as part of the giant + battery terminal assembly? I cant think of the right name for it - fusible link maybe?

Well, the license plate lamp goes through fuse 30 in the interior box.

May want to undo what you just did to see if there's any change. And always disconnect your battery before playing with electronics.
