My wife dropped a metal hair pen in the cigarrette lighter port. As a result, the interior lights do not work, nor does the radio. I checked the fuses and they are fine. What else could be the problem?

Hi calboycdp1,

I believe the fuse is not ok. Check # 4 (10 A) ACC Radio fuse.

The fuses are okay. Not the problem. I checked the 10 ACC Radio fuse and the 7.5 power fuse to relay as well.

Okay, it sounds like the cigarette relay is not working (shorted). Here is the location so you can swap it out under the hood fuse panel. Check out the images below. Please let us know what happens.
