Horn, Radio, Trunk Release Button NOT WORKING:(

I have no horn, radio, or trunk release button. All just stopped. got in my car and radio didnt turn on. said check the system, couldnt get the trunk to pop. Drove down the road, went to honk at a deer (live in Indiana, HAHA) and nothing. WTF? i have a nice stereo system and ive checked fuses and rewired my radio, idk what to do, but its driving me crazy not to have a radio/cdplayer. Any help is APPRECIATED

I know you checked the fuses, but all of the circuits you mentioned are on the same fuse (as is the cigarette lighter). Definitely sounds like this fuse or a wiring problem at or near the fuse block. Any chance that a 20 amp one is blown?

OH HELL. definitely was the fuse. i thought i checked em all, but i didnt. it was a 20 amp, THANKS SO MUCH. and i took the 20 out of my turn signals and put it in there and it immediately blew. so now without those too. so i bought threee 20s. one for each and then an extra just in case i blow one. so why did it immediately blow the one i put in? i rewired my radio, but its wired right into the fuse box as well...where else could i wire my 12+ volt power wire from my cd player? thanks for ur help
