Default Dropped penny in cig lighter, shorted something. Climate control no longer working.

2000 Lexus sc300
Stupidly dropped a coin in cig light, big spark, blew something. I know there are many posts about this issue but Im having a weird issue. After reading posts about how to solve this issue, I began looking for a blown fuse to replace. Found the blown fuse, it was the 15A fuse for the CIG slot. Replaced the fuse thinking I found the issue, ac/climate control still wont work (screen lights up but does not show any options of controlling a/c) Then began checking every fuse in both fuse boxes to look for another blown fuse with a multi meter, nothing. Not sure if this matters but when pulling out the blown fuse(15A CIG) there was copper wire tied around both prongs, replaced the fuse without copper wire in place, didnt solve issue, tried to put copper wire around it, still nothing. Also, after replacing the CIG fuse the cig lighter still did not work. I am not sure where to go next, If someone could steer me in the right direction or provide any help I would greatly appreciate it. It is getting very old driving home from work sweating my *** off

This is the schematic for the A/C control panel. You'll have to check the power inputs. The plug layout is on the last page.
