I'd be more inclined to say it's either wiring or a fusable link. To be honest though I would pull all the fuses 1 by 1 to see what you come up with first.

Click to expand...

did the radio light or the entire radio shut off? if the former, look at the lighting circuit, esp the ISO circuit (fuse 13 IIRC).

if not, i would follow MSTANG's advice.

:OT: MSTANG, did you get those fog lights working?

if its not the fuses, take off the domelight and check the screws. One of the screws acts as a ground i believe.

There is an "always hot" wire that powers the courtesy lights and the radio's memory. Without it, the lights are dead and the radio will not turn on. Fuse 4 or 15 I believe. It's one of the 15A ones opposite side of the flasher, second from the top. I yank this out all the time so the domelight doesnt drain the battery while I'm hacking up front.
