Hello,

So, is there anything else out in the interior? Especially the radio or the cigarette lighter? More often than not, these are on that same fuse so if those work it could be something else.

If you still have your owner's manual the listing for the fuses is in the index section.

The Interior fuse box should be to the left of the steering wheel behind a cover. Once you remove that cover you can check for a bad fuse with a test light. I have included a picture for your reference.

Verify your test light works by putting the clip on the negative and touching the other end to the positive. The light should illuminate. If your connections are a little corroded, you might have to clean them a little first.

Now take the alligator clip on one end and attach it to a good ground. I usually use a bolt or a piece of the metal frame on the dash.

Every fuse has 2 sides, and they extend up through the top of the fuse allowing you to test them without removing them.

*Do not touch anything else but the fuses or you can risk damaging your vehicles wiring.

Now once you have a ground turn your key to the run position but do not start it. Look at each fuse you can see a little piece of metal on each side of each fuse. Thats what we will be connecting to.

Go one fuse at a time, touching the left side then the right. Both sides will illuminate the light if the fuse is not blown.

If you come across one where only one side lights the test light, then that fuse is more than likely blown.

Take a pair of needle nose pliers and replace it with one of the exact same amperages indicated on the top by two digits and by the color. Even if it looks good put a new one in anyway.

Check every fuse in the fuse box this way.

Let me know what you find, and we will go from there. We need to rule out the fuse completely.

Good morning,

So, were you able to locate the interior fuse box? Did you find a burnt-out fuse using the test light?

Here is a link to a video that will help you find the fuse:

So far you have no power at the diagnostic connector and no power at the radio.

We need to find out where the power stops. The fuse board is the first thing you should always check.

Also, just because a fuse doesn't look blown, doesn't mean it isn't. Checking it in place with the test light is the best method in my opinion.

Let me know if you find a bad fuse.

Good morning,

Awe, I am so glad to hear that, and you are most welcome! You ever need anything else please do not hesitate to ask us a question, anytime!
