MX62 Electrical issue

[partymachine]

Hi guys,

I've recently bought a 1982 MX62 Cressida and all the electrics/dash lights etc work except the clock, radio and cigarette lighter don't work.

I assume this is a blown fuse? I had a look at the fuse box in the engine bay and there isn't really anything which looks like what I need.

Is there an accessory fuse box inside the car somewhere or is it going to get messy to try find them?

Thanks in advance

Cigarette lighter sockets are notorious for being shorted by rubbish (pieces of aluminium foil/staples ect).
It would be good to check every fuse in the engine bay with a multimeter because they can be open circuit without any visual signs.
There might also be a fuse panel under the dash.

Have you looked in the drivers footwell, on the lower right hand side?

That's what I needed, it was just a blown fuse. Thanks legend
