Default scion tc 05 not start,not ac etc...

I have a scion tc 05 and I have an electrical problem and I would like to know if any has happened to it, I mounted a radio to the car and at the moment I stopped pulling 12v from the radio but the car turned on, I decided to get 12v from the lighter and accidentally the cable made contact and the car stopped starting, the mirrors do not work, it does not turn on, the air does not work, the turn signals do not work either, the alarm does not work, only some circuits, look at the fuses and there are no bad ones or relays, and in the fuse box below the guide all are good but some fuses have no current and I think it could be the fuse box and the am1 fuse only has 10v but the fuse box the power cable has 12v

.... you did what now? This explanation is insanely confusing TBH.

I may be wrong, but it sounds like you were toying with the radio and for whatever reason decided to draw power from the cigarette lighter and then touched the positive and negative connections of that to one another?

I have the electrical manual for my 2010 at home, I can find the circuit related to this and post a picture, but you are making it sound like the entire system is now faulty, not just the radio/lighter circuit. You may be in for a ride to find everything that was shorted out if you touched the positive and negative ends together.

Helpful bit of advice, if you find a component in a car not working, don't try and power it by piggy backing it off something else. The circuits were only meant to handle the draw of what it was powering, not what you are trying to power as well. You would have been better off running a fresh line with an inline fuse to the battery for power.
