I don't remember off hand what else is on that circuit, but two things real likely for you to look at:
1) radio wiring behind the head unit. Especially with aftermarket installations, the wiring can get into the windshield wiper mechanism which is RIGHT behind it. This will sever wires like a shear, and short out the power wires. Pull off the top blanking panel next to the radio, and two screws behind there let you remove the whole radio. There are no screws on the right of the radio. Inspect this wiring and tape any bare wires. If it's cut, you'll have to repair it.
2) The dome light could short against the roof. These pry out pretty easily. A wire could have come off a terminal and hit the roof metal or be touching the black ground wire on the light circuit. Reattach a loose wire or tape it to prevent things from touching.
3) Has any other work been done on the car recently? Back up to the most recent job and look for any crunched, pinched, or cut wiring near that... you've definitely got a short connecting some wire right to ground -i.e. the body of the car.
