Default interior electrical problem

So I had just gotten my 01 Disco working perfectly, no issues no lights on (did the full abs repair with a trailer harness) just replaced plugs and wires, i was loving it. Then, my smart butt goes and tries to plug in a car charger i got from ebay. Well low and behold, it blew some wiring, now my aux input, my homelink garage door opener, and my heated seats dont work. I looked at all the fuses but non of them look blown, any ideas?

thanks.

Check fuse link 7 under hood fuse box. While open, check them all.

Did you isolate (disconnect) the battery from the vehicle before you attached the car charger?

So the end result of the problem was that I kept on looking at the AUX fuse under the steering wheel but in the end there is an actual cigarette lighter fuse in the same fuse box. Pretty stupid mistake, it took me looking at a wiring diagram to figure this out. But in the end the problem was solved, so thanks. And no I did not isolate the battery for the sake of plugging in a charger. The inside prongs of the socket, and now the ground and the positive are free to touch each other. So for now I put in some electrical tape so as to separate them and I am going to run to a junk yard and grab a socket off another rover and swap them out.
