I finally decided to change the broken rear view mirror on my disco. Well, Being the tight fisted chap that I am i got a replacement on e-bay but it came with a compass instead of the 2 map reading lights (which mine originaly had)

No worries. I know this can be changed as I had it working for about 1 second.

Until like a complete nob I touched 2 of the wires together and got a spark.

Now my problem is to try and get the power back to the mirror but I don't know where to check next? I tried all the usual fuses and they look fine. 15, 17 and 25.

I also checked the supply with a volt meter so I know its dead.

HELP...someone, anyone. any info appreciated.
 
This is just some of the info taken from RAVE which u can down load.

Vanity and rear view mirror

With the ignition switch in position I or II, the feed from fusible link 7 passes through the
auxiliary circuits relay contacts and is connected on a WG wire to the passenger
compartment fusebox where it passes through fuse 15. From fuse 15 the feed is connected
on an LGW wire, via header C0286 LHD/C0291 RHD to the interior mirror.
The power supply from fuse 15 in the passenger compartment fusebox supplies power to
the interior rear view mirror. The automatic dip function of the mirror can be selected on or
off on the mirror. The mirror is connected on a B wire to earth header C0706.
When reverse is selected, the feed from fuse 25 in the passenger compartment fusebox
passes through the reverse switch contacts and is connected, via header C0287 LHD/
C0294 RHD to the interior mirror on a GN wire. This supplies power to the interior mirror and
changes it from its dipped to normal condition when applicable.
The interior lamps operate independent of the ignition switch position and can be operated
manually or automatically when a door is opened.
