Not sure of what you mean by "on the fuses" in the fuse blocks?

Use your test leads to back probe each side of each fuse without removing the fuse from the block with the ignition in the run position.
I would pay particular attention to the circuits that are out.
You have a loss of power to at least the dash panel, and likely to the CCM.
These are fused circuits.
You have checked the battery and all of the related connections, as well as the fusible links,.
Lets now see if each fused circuit is getting and transmitting power.

OK, I get what youre saying but I'm not sure there is enough room around the fuses to insert the test lead tips but I'll definitely give it a try! Thanks.

As I mentioned in my PM . Now check that power is leaving the pos. conn. & arriving at #2 fuse block Interior Lt. fuse-20amp. Power here? if so this feeds directly to the LCD fuse in the I/P fuse block. Power here? LCD fuse feeds chime & instrument panel & Security Lt. If power is leaving the LCD fuse but no chime, Sec Lt , etc the circuit is open. Remove the Instrument panel & check the SEC. bulb. If blown it will open a feed to the CCM.

Following the foregoing will do what Marty is saying- that " each fused circuit is getting & transmitting power"

Got it. Is the #2 fuse block the one behind the battery and the I/p fuse panel the one at the end of the dash?

[geezer]

#2 Fuse block is forward of the battery. #1 Fuse block is firewall side of battery. I/P fuse block is Rt. side end of dash.

Thank you, I'll be checking it out tomorrow.

Today I checked the #2 fuse block 20 amp int. light and fuse is good and power is passing through it, then went on to check the LCD fuse and determined fuse is good and also has power passing through it. I know at this point you said that the security light most likely would be the culprit, however, I was checking power at all the fuses in the I/p block and I found out that power is NOT passing through fuse #11 which is RH illum. fuse and is the only fuse that I found that was blown a few weeks ago, I just never checked to see if power was going through! It is a 5 amp and I did replace it at that time not realizing that there was no power there. I'm thinking this has to have something to do with the problem.

So with Rh Illum. fuse issue I'm thinking RH door switch as a possible shorting area. I would expect that the rear view mirror lt. is not working also.
When you get the Manual check the wiring diag. for RH Illum. & see what is feed from the fuse. I still would check the RH door switch . Pull it & disconnect & see if the Fuse holds.
