Under the dash. Not sure which one. I would just pop them out till you find the bad one.

You'd think that wouldn't you? He did say the constant hot wire which also has dome and cigar lighter on that circuit. That's why I posted the wiring diagram too. The radio fuse is just the ignition power to it, not the constant hot.

Thanks for the info.The interior light(dome in middle of roof is still working)On a visual inspection of the fuses they all look to be good.

The fuse for the constant 12 volts is located in the convenience center. There is another fuse box to the right of the steering column. The fuse is in there.

For 12 years I've been running a separate constant power wire and then I see this post...... I literally ran out to the car, ripped off the cover panel, found the secondary fuse panel and sure enough, blown fuse.
