Dome light and Radio quit working

My truck is a 99 Dodge pickup with a aftermarket alpine head unit. It has been in the truck for 4 years now without a problem. I was using my truck for a light last night putting away a tent and cleaning up from a graduation party.

When my truck shut-off. I had my radio on and turned up fairly loud nothing excessive and had my dome light and cargo light both turned on. My truck without a warning shuts off. I started the truck back on to find my radio and dome light not working at all. First thing i check my fuses in the side of the dash. They all checked out to be good especially the radio and the illumination fuses. I then checked the fuse box under the hood and nothing looked to be a burned or bad under there either.


What else? Is there fuse able links? Where could they be located? Everything else works with the truck. Edge box is fine, Headlights, fog lights, hazzards, illumination lights.

I did notice my headlight/interior light switch felt warm. But it wasn't smoking or anything crazy.

Did you check the iod fuse, it has a plastic cover over it so most people don't check it.
