Default HELP!!! I have an alarm and interior lighting issue.

For some reason, the following things do not power on... stereo, clock, map/dome lights, rear map lights, and the trunk light does not turn on either.. This is in addition to my alarm not working..?? I am thinking it maybe a fuse, but I checked all the interior fuses and they are good.. <Maybe one of the fuses in the engine bay? Can anyone help please???

Default Btw

I took out the radio and did some checking with a tester. It seems I do not have a cosntant poswer from the battery, but only accessory. Does tha radio need both to work? Any ideas on if the radio, clock, map lights, trunk light, and alarm have anything in common and why they will not work all of a sudden?? I have checked the fuses and all appear to be working... Anyone have any ideas??

if it did not have the constant power, ... I am thinking about the fuse. Did you check all the fuse in the engine bay.

Check the fuse on the driver side kick panel. It's labeled CLUSTER and also look at the RADIO fuse, they're both 15A I believe. I was working on my car and that fuse blew out. When I went to start the car...the radio, clock, climate control, and a few other things quit working. I replaced the fuse and everything lit back up. Go an double check that one.
