blown dash lights fuse, can't find it

I was replacing a few burned out bulbs in dash gauges. I noticed the air pressure bulb was burned out so I pulled the metal holder out and it sparked and all the dash lights are now out. Nothing behind the dash but wires. I assume its a resettable fuse behind the pull off panel in stairway but can't figure out which one and how to reset? Do you push the little indentation in the middle of the black breaker?
I'm learning lots
Thanks

That resets the breaker. Mine are labeled, different year and model so probably wouldn't help you.

1. On your year coach it should be one of breakers that are behind the removable cover in the basement.  On that panel you should have 2 rows of breakers this breaker is in the right hand row.  The 2nd breaker from the top on that row of breakers should be what you are looking for. (FYI) There is also another dash memory breaker down there. I think it is the 3rd breaker in the left hand row of breakers. 

2. These will have a little button on the side that will be popped out. You will need a flash light to see it, once found just push it back in.

Ok. Ronnie from FT tech pulled the schematic. Its no.25 of the auto reset relays behind the kick panel in the stairway. It won't reset so I ordered a few from Brad at FT. 6amp. Only powers the lamps on panel. Looks like the entire buss bar has to be removed to replace one relay, is that correct? Not very handy

You can buy those breakers any where. Napa ,Walmart, whatever.
BTW, they go in one way. Longer post is for load, shorter goes to batt. side.
