Power steering and ABS not working after replacing stereo

I was replacing a radio and think I shorted a wire. Now the power steering, windows etc, do not work. I have checked the fuses in the engine bay. And they all seem to be fine. I cannot find any fuses above the drivers foot well though.
This is for a Toyota Allion 2008 struggling to find info on it.

Hi,

I have to be honest, this model isn't offered in the US, but I will try my best to help. Since you lost a few different things that don't seem directly related (ABS and Power Windows) I need you to check for grounds under the dash. Also, on similar size Toyota vehicles in the US, there should be a fuse panel under the dash on the left side. I don't know if this is left or right hand drive. But here, we have left hand drive and the fuse box is under the left side.

Let me know. Check to see if any ground wires under the dash (near the radio) were damaged or broken.

Take care,
Joe

I finally found it! Thanks for the help. Was a right hand drive.
On the left hand side behind the glove-box there was a plastic shell for wires coming under and hidden on the underside of that was a fuse box with a couple of broken fuses under a cover.
Thanks for the help.
