Radio desnt get connected there tho. everything else does. Check the back of the fuse panel to make sure its still pluged into the back of it as it might not be. You can check it for corrosion as well and clean it up to eliminate that possibility too

well the block was a power transfer point.....and it wasn't the problem...the fuse was fine too....BIG MYSTERY! ended up being micorscopic corrosion on the fuse blades and the receptical for the fuse...try polishing up your fuse and shine a light into the socket....it MIGHT be your problem too...although through my research there are a variety of things that will give you these symtoms...

Make sure the panel for the accessiores is pluged into the main fuse panel as well in the right spots
