The radio and cigar lighter stopped working. Fuses from kick panel were good. Fuse 15 radio and 20 H/CLN both good. Any other fuse I might of missed that control them both?
 
I just learned this myself that our cars have very thin power wire going to the cigarette lighter. In my situation only the lighter is not working and all fuses are good. So next thing to check is the power wire behind the cigarette lighter. The fuse is labelled H/CLN it is 20 Amps and it probably runs radio and cigarette lighter and the wire is thin so in my case it broke the lighter part of the wire after the radio.

Thanks guys. The fuses checked out good so it must be a power wire that control both radio and lighter. Sucks.
