2 questions.
Question 1. What did you do to blow the fuse in the first place? Question 2. Does anything else in your car not work? Check your dome light, or your guages. Diagnosis: There are 3 more fuses you should check and then report back to me your findings. 7.5A Panel 10A Dome 20A Radio Take a look at those 3 fuses and see if they are blown. If you still can't figure it out, I will take a look at it tomorrow for you Marco. Ok I'm going to sleep now. --------------------  |

Does this have anything to do with the relays? I had an issue with the power iwndows and mirrors and also blower motor not work due to the starter selinoid. But this was in a BMW.

Probably one or more wires are burned...you'll need to trace them and do the necessary surgeries...or just hook the accessory wire (Accessory Gray + at Ignition Harness) to ur clock and radio ,that should do the trick. --------------------  98% completion --- aaRon |

did you guys ever figure this out? i am really interested, the guy thats working on my car said something about it maybe being an inline fuse. but the odd thing about mine is my fuse block isnt getting any power, but the car will turn over and start, headlights work fine, etc etc. but no dome lights, no turn signals, no dash lights, no cd player

In summary, you had a blown fuse, replaced it and now your cig lighter works but your radio and clock doesn't?
Radio needs both the "radio 1" fuse and the "cig. and radio" fuse. Cigarette lighter needs the "cig. and radio" fuse. Clock needs the "panel", "cig. and radio" and the "dome" fuses. Either you have multiple fuses failed, or you have something unplugged (eg. at J/B #3) or you have one or more broken/burned wires, or the fault caused a power surge that damaged both the radio and the clock. The last one seems to be very unlikely to me. If your horn and hazards work, but your dome and radio doesn't, check the shorting pin. It looks like a regular fuse and is in the main engine bay fuse box. It is usually white in colour. This post has been edited by BloodyStupidDavey: Dec 7, 2007 - 1:57 PM -------------------- Davey
