no power to accessories!
What doesn't work?
cigar lighter
dome light
instrument cluster lights
headlight switch
power hatch release
I understand all these are wired through the acc fuse. Which I just checked and has 12v. I then went to power for the cigar lighter and that has no juice. What could be causing this to happen out of nowhere?

Are those the only things that lost power? I would double check all the fuses. I had the same thing happen and it was a fuse.

Remember, you can have 12v at the fuse, but you have to check both sides of the fuse. Must have power in & out of the fuse. This sounds like classic acc fuse blown.

Re: no power to accessories!
With the fuse out, only one pin of the fuse holder should have power...(open circuit voltage) I even tried putting in a different fuse and it didn't work. And they arn't blowing which means most likely, there is not a short of some sort. A wiring diagram would probably solve my problem. I'm doing this blind right now without one.
