Default Crap, I broke something

I was wiring up my aem wideband and I think in the process something got shorted out but I can't seem to find the exact fuse. Turning the key yields nothing, the radio doesn't work, the a/c doesnt work, the headlights don't work but the turn signals do. I'm assuming I just popped something but none of the fuses are blown so wtf? I think this all happened whenever I wired in the ignition part of the gauge.

Did you check both fuse boxes? By the clutch pedal and under the hood?

I only drive the car once every couple weeks so it keeps dying.

Same here, I installed a battery cut off to prevent it. Only $3, harbor freight
