  • no power to lighter or radio

    As it says I have no power at the lighter or ignition wire for the radio.radio battery power is fine. All my fuses are good. Any ideas?

    Are you SURE ALL your fuses are good? It is the same fuse that runs both. Maybe burned wires in the dash if the fuse is still good. Maybe someone put in a higher amperage fuse than what was required and instead of blowing, it melted the wires.
    The normal is not always normal... MOST is not ALL... And any job can be hard if you don't have the right tools!!!

      X2 I've seen fuses that look good but don't work, replace it with a known good fuse, and see if it works.

        Agreed.. run a good wire to the front of the car and hook it on the dash side of your fuse after unhooking the connector from the other side of the fuse.

        BUT expect smoke if you have a burnt wire.. so I'd throw a fuse into that line before you check with it.

        If radio/lighter work fine after that, you're either looking at the fuse or the wire running to the fusebox.. and hope its the fuse.
