you can get fuses at any auto store, so thats no big deal. the way ive always checked fuses is i pull them out and check to see if the metal part in the middle is still intact, if not i replace. there may be an easier way that im unaware of but good luck.

AbadDriver,
No, actually your method is the best way. Thats why they are clear. If you are uncertain as to the fuses condition after visual inspection, you can check it with a multimeter set for "continuity" or ohms. It should beep if the fuse is good or show zero ohms resistance.

Get a Haynes manual and trace the LG/Y wire that powers the clock memory & courtesy lights. The radio probably got added to the circuit, so there's no telling what was done. I suspect you'll end up pulling the radio & rewiring it.

I have the exact problem. My CD deck and dome lights are out. The Radiofuse is good, but I found a burnt one for the whole cab interior...I'll replace it tommorrow and let you know what happens...
