I shorted something - what fuse could it be?

    Long story short, I was soldering the gray wire marked switched ignition in the image. As far as I can tell, it shorted out on the soldering iron. There was a tiny spark when it occured.

    Hopefully it's just a fuse. I checked the radio fuse and it's fine. What else could it be?

    Starts fine. Everything seems ok. Just the radio.

    Using a multimeter, there is no longer 12v going to that wire.
