Electrical Problem
Okay so today I replaced the Map lights on my 2011 camry with led lights. The leads in the car were spread apart so I used my screwdriver to bring them closer together. Unfortunatly, I blew my 10 amp fuse for the dome light doing this. I replaced it and everything worked fine.. Or so I thought..
Later,
I discovered that:
1) I can unlock my car using the keyless entry but not lock it (however I still heard the horn, symbolizing that the door had locked, although it didn't)
2) My dome lights will not come on if the door is open (unless the key is in the ignition)
3) I can hear the door open chime (even though the key is not in the ignition and the door is closed)
-chime stops after 5 chimes
4) The airbag sign and the lost traction sign are displayed on the panel
Can anyone tell me whats going on here and what I can do to fix it?

This may be a dealer issue.
The Dome fuse powers in part all the items you list (and much more). The fuse blowing may have caused the various computers reset programming or trigger a fault. Unfortunately cars are becoming more complicated.
As the car is under warranty might consider changing the bulbs back and going to the dealer. If you have the old fuse, replace it for the new. Plead ignorance although the dealer may wonder what happened.
