Default DRL not working

My dad has a 2003 PT and I was putting in an aftermarket stereo for him which worked fine, then today when I pulled it out to hook up the radio for him after I put it back in I heard a click like I had blown a fuse, I checked them all (interior and ex) none were blown and now the cd player has no power going to it and my check engine lights on saying " no fuse no DRL" and the day time running lights don't work.... can anyone help.?

From PT Do-It-Yourself.net .........

I have a 2001 LE PT with 150k miles. I noticed the following two readouts flashing on the odometer: "No fuse" and "No DRL". I ran both vehicle self-tests and no faults were indicated. I checked the IOD fuse with VOM meter and all was OK. I checked the 40A door-lock fuse it was also OK. This is a Canadian car and I do not know where the DRL module is, so I have not checked it. Please advise where I can find it? While checking the fuse I saw the + battery was covered in corrosion. I removed, cleaned and reinstalled the connector. This problem has also affected the door locks, radio, mirrors and keyless entry. Any advice to resolve this would be appreciated. Thanks. - Dave, from Canada.

The DRL module is part of the instrument cluster/body control module. Power to all those systems come from several fuses, but share a common ground point. The ground (G-200) is located center rear of the instrument panel. The IOD fuse is the only one that will cause the cluster to display "no fuse". It would seem that the cluster has failed, a ground is open, or a power circuit isn't reaching the destination.
