What fuse?
 
I just installed the the 3rd gen mirrors and must have pinched a wire[duhhh]. Now I have now power mirrors, interior lights or radio. I have checked all the fuses on driver side dash and under the hood on driverside. Where is this fuse. Please help.

Not sure which one but did you check with a meter?
Just looking at fuses doesn't always work.

I used a test light. Someone please help. Im out of ideas.

Check the IOD fuse, should be #12 in the fuse box on the side of the dash. You cannot tell just by looking, you'll have to pull it out.

Thanks That was it. What does iod stand for? I didnt think one with a lock on it would be it.

if you have a multimeter and you're checking fuses set the multimeter to check continuity and use the positive and negative ends one the 2 posts on top of the fuses. if you get continuity then the fuse is good. it not then the fuse is bad. simple enough if a fuse is your problem. if you test fuses this way it goes really quick and you can hit all the fuses in a couple minutes.

IOD= ignition off draw


set the multimeter to check continuity
Problem with this method is if there is s direct short that caused the fuse to blow it will show the same continuity as a good fuse.
Best way to check is to turn the key on and check voltage at the fuses with one meter probe grounded.
Check both sides of the fuse if you don't know which side is the protected side.
