Default Fuse problem, help!

OK I did something kinda stupid. I dropped a screw into the cigarette lighter and used a pair of needle nose to get it out. Needless to say there was some sparking and I have lost power to a couple of things. I have no power to my locks, my overhead light, my cigarette lighter, my instrument lights, and the stereo won't hold presets. I can't find in the manual what fuse controls all of this. Any ideas? Please!

Most of the fuses are marked as to what they protect. If it isn't clear just start pulling fuses until you find the ones that are blown. Teplace them and all shopuld be well again.

A good old fashion $3 test light works great for that. Just start touching the ends of all the fuses and when one doesn't light up there's your problem.

Default Found it!

For future reference it's the CTSY/CLK 20 fuse. And I sure do love having a dad that knows cars. Always dependable.
