Help: Attempted DIY foglight and now no ACC Power

Attempted to do the DIY foglight configuration by splicing into the ACC (small red and white wire) but accidently used wrong end of the brown wire which is the foglight power into the ACC splice instead.

Right now I have no power when I turn the key to the ON position. My small White and red wire is not getting power. I checked all the fuses on the engine bay and driver side but found no burnt fuse.

Is there anywhere else that some other fuses might be located. I did see a 7.5 ACC fuse under the driver side but the fuse was not blown. Even swapped it with a good new one just in case.

Still no power. Can anyone help? Where does that small white red wire go to?

Really appreciate any help.

Here are a couple of diagrams that might help. Note particularly the fuse at #39. Double check that fuse very carefully and if blown, remove the brown wire from the W/R at your splice and replace the fuse. Test. If that corrects the problem, either complete the rewire correctly or return everything to original.
