I'm not sure where i'm supposed to be looking for this wire. I've torn apart the entire dash looking for a junction that connects to the fuse box. I found the 10 amp Tail fuse to be blown when testing for power. There is 12 volts on the systems that still work (CSTY for example). I found a 10 Amp fuse behind the center part of the dash, its the Horn in line fuse and its reading 3 volts. I take it thats not enough juice.
Is there a diagram that shows where to find the junction?

Your low voltage finding could be a bad connection on either the wire your tracking or a bad connnection for the ground your using......
Make sure that the meter your using is well grounded, run a jumper wire all the way to the negative battery terminal if you must -- then check for voltage again and see if it is still low. It is important to remember that you must have solid grounding points for all the circuit return paths for normal operation and voltage readings. It is always a good idea to ensure that all car's grounds, engine block and frame have a solid electrical connection all the way back to the negative battery terminal....you can use an ohm meter to check this. Bad ground/s alone could be why your car has problems.
