Default Hatch/Foglight switch fuse?

Can anyone point me to which fuse connects the hatch button and foglight button to their operation? I know the switch has power because the light works. But the "on" light for the foglights do not. Also, the gas door button also does not work. I checked all connections.

This occured while doing my double din swap, in the course of reconnecting/disconnecting the battery I forgot it was still connected when I was splicing the power lead (I used the unused GM power lead from the passenger foot well) and I touched it to the radio bezel frame by accident and it sparked. (not a big spark, just made connection) It didn't blow the fuse for the terminal lead because it sparked a couple times before I got the wire back out and disconnected the battery.

I'm curious if this could have affected the connections for the hatch and gas door switches. I'm positive the hatch switch worked a couple days earlier when I tested it.

So where can I find the fuse for the gas door and hatch/foglight switch? NOT the foglights themselves. Thanks in advance. Would like to troubleshoot this, but aside from the fuses I don't know where else to look.

Nevermind, I figured it out. Here's what I found just in case someone else runs into the same problem.

Under the passenger kick panel fuse box:

#26 F/TNKDR (Fuel Tank Door) 10A was blown (obviously from my little oversight) Replaced with underhood fuse box spare... fixed.

#39 HTCHTRK REL (Big fuse) was also blown. I visually could not tell if it was blown so I swapped it with my horn fuse (same size), the trunk now pops... but my horn doesn't work now. Need to get another one of these fuses.

The foglight button on the switch was unaffected.
