*Facepalm to forehead* LED Install Help

Gentlemen, I was involved in some stupidity last night in trying to put a square peg in a round hole. I ordered LEDs and got was sent the wrong type connectors but I went ahead and try to install it anyway on the passenger side map light not knowing it wouldn't fit. I ended up blowing the fuse and the interior, trunk lights, and for some reason, the power seats stopped working. I replaced the fuse and everything is in working order except the passenger side map light. Odd thing is, when I press in the map light cover and keep it depressed, the light turns on. As soon as I let go, it turns off.

I did a search and saw a mention of a BCM. Can a bad BCM affect just one light and not the others? Could it be just a shorted out map light assembly that needs replacing. Help a brother out, please! Thanks!

That's what I did exactly. I put the old bulb back but can only get it to light up when I keep the map light depressed. It doesn't turn on all the time either. I have to press it 3-5 times before it turns on.
