Default Electrical Problem - Fusible Link?

I instaled a new radio a week or so ago, everything was working fine. When I went to do some more interior work, I noticed my courtesy lights did not come on, and the lighter did not have power either. I checked at the fuse box, fuse is fine, no power on either side. When I turn the key on, seat belts light lights up, starts fine, runs fine.

Any ideas? I know there are fusible links down by the starter, but where do they go? What circuits are they in line with?

Your fusible links are not your problem.One is for the entire fusebox and the other is for the headlights.

I'm pretty sure it was the courtesy light fuse, I remember it was a 20A

Check your tailight fuse and hazard fuse and see if they are hot.If they are I'm guessing you checked the wrong fuse because they are all fed by the same wire.I dont have a 76 diagram in front of me but I believe the courtesy fuse will be on the left and close to the top of box.
