weeelll i seem to have done it again! i was doing some wiring in my car and when i went to test it i blew a fuse. the fuse i blew was the 12v power outlet fuse because err thats what the wires ran to.

so i replaced the fuse and finished what i was doing, np. then went i went driving next, i noticed just a few more things were broken.

1) My head unit doesnt work. no power whatsoever. Fuse: OK.

2) My keyless entry doesnt work but my door lock solenoids work from inside. Fuse: Can't find the ****. Help!

3) There is some "thing" that remembers the brightness settings you set your interior lights to. Well whatever that is, its not working too. I like my lights very dim and if I turn the brightness down and take out the key, it gets reset when I put it back in. Fuse: Can't find it. Help!

So yeah, im down a radio, keyless, and brightness memory thingie. Can anyone help me?

Update:
Ok so I decided to suck it up and check every single fuse. Turns out there was a 10A fuse, #9, under the hood, labeled "Back Up" (not "Backup", not "Back-up", but "Back Up") that was blown. So I stepped away from my car... then prompty replaced the blown fuse with one of the spares. I then turned on the vehicle and lo and behold!! my radio, "brightness memory module", and keyless entry ALL worked again.

In conclusion:

Thank you 7thGen for your brute-force methodology, you have made my day once again.

IF you go through fuses that fast you don't need the dummy lights. You probably know execatly which fuse is blown alread

I think:

under the dash, 2nd row up, 3rd from the right, 15 amp fuse. Unlike my problem, this one is clearly labeled in the manual as Accessory Outlet or something like that, so double check.
