Electrical screwed

There could be some fuses either under dash or side of dash where the doors open at.

I've heard of power and ign wires go bad. Find another 12volt source, battery or another 12 volt source(anything that has constent power, test with dmm)

find a 12 volt switch( when key is turned) like some cig lighter or something similar.( test w/ dmm also.

While ur at it, run a new ground, either batt or chasis( bare metal connected to frame).

Just us speaker wire to extend wires. Def check fuses first so it won't cause u all this work.

In my truck (95 jimmy) I want to say I have two fuses that deal with the radio. Also, check your dimmer fuse. I blew mine in my old s10 when I fumbled and dropped a radio I was putting in. I don't know how difficult it is to find your fuse box under the hood (I have yet to find mine if it exists), but you've probably got some important fuses under there. If that doesn't work, run a new power and ground.

There's usually a fuse called Audio in most vehicles I've seen... Double check the fuse names, if you have to, and check every fuse if needed.

Check the fuse box under the hood, too.

Im not sure if there is another fuse box somewhere other than under the hood. I've searched and searched and can't find anything online. I also dont have the owners manual.

Wait, you only checked the under the hood one?

haven't seen fords really, though, so I can't say for sure, but I'd guess the second fuse panel is under the dash if there is one for a ford, the underside of the steering wheel area, from what I've seen. Pop off cover which lists fuse names.

Could be wrong, but worth a look.

Whoops, dunno where I saw you said it was a ford, but you apparently didn't.

What model/year is the vehicle?

I've looked around a little bit and havent seen one inside. Its a 2004 dodge ram 1500

I found the owner's manual... but no help.

There is only one fuse box. I'm guessing you've searched through the lists of fuses, and checked them all. The last option is a wire frying itself out - i.e., melting the ends of it with too much current, or something along those lines. Which would mean just running new wires through the car. That's about all I can think of.

Okay I was looking at my fuses again and I I saw one that was like "cluster, radio, and over head lamp" It is a wierd fuse what has these clip things on the side of them and I cannot get it out haha. I can pull it part way out and it looks to be broken. I hooked up a little tester to it and it says it doesnt work...so im guessing this is the problem. I just cant get the **** fuse out. There are like 3 of these types of fuses in the fuse box. Its a normal fuse itself, just has some wierd clip things around it

I was pretty sure it was a fuse //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Glad it works now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yup that fuse covers constant 12 volts in dodge cars, shoulda been a hint when the interior lights went out
