Okaaaay - was interfering with my courtesy lights and managed to let all the smoke escape from the fuse - it happened to take out the radio power as well.
i know where the fuse block is, and checked em - they are all fine.
anyone know where I may find the fuse for the lights/radio etc?
*hmmmpf*

if it's an aftermarket radio/CD player, it probably has an inline fuse in its power lead.......dunno about the lights but

Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very oftenXMX5 Rogues

Interior lights fuse (\"room\") is on the driver's side kick panel. I think you need the \"room\" fuse and the \"cigar\" fuse intact for the OEM radio/stereo connection. Lighting power for the stereo plug comes through the \"tail\" fuse.

Just yank them out one by one and you'll find the blown one eventually.

it's in a real prick of a spot too, you almost need to lie in the drivers seat upside down to work out what's going on there.
whats this "almost"? thats exactly what i needed to do!
