radio and clock stopped working

I did search for this problem maybe I didn't search the right words but anyways..........
The other day I was cleaning out the car and listening to the radio and all of a sudden the stereo went out. I looked in the engine compartment fuse box and I did end up blowing the fuse. I changed it and still have nothing. The clock stopped working too. The cigarette lighter still works just the stereo and clock anyone help me out on this?

Curious--does your curteousy lamp (on the ceiling) work? If not, it's the fuse in the engine compartment. One of the two in the small yellow retainer. It's tricky to get out, probably because it has to do with the airbag circuitry, I'm not sure. The two fuses will pull out as an assebly in a mall bracket. Then you can test each fuse. Let me know what you find.

yeah it is when i saw that i blew the fuse i took the dome light fuse and put it in where the radio one is and the radio still wouldn't work. Did find out that if the dome light fuse is out the doors won't lock from the key lock. which is kinda cool. I will check back later work nights so really sleepy

and the clock? seems unlikely, possible though. test to see if you are getting power to your constant and switched lines.
