Lighter shorted out, no sound from radio ?
In my son's '86 LG4 coupe, here is the wierdness: while hassling with his cell phone charger, which would not come out, he shorted the lighter socket. This resulted in no interior lights, no tuning ability on the radio, but the cassette deck still worked...We could find no blown fuses in the fuse panel, and after disconnecting the battery, straightening out the lighter tabs to clear the main lighter tube, the cassette wouldn't work either. That is, until he put the lighter back in the lighter socket! So now where we are is: no tunable radio, no interior lights, no blown fuses at the panel.
Is there an in-line fuse somewhere in the radio/lighter wiring? All "leads" welcome!!

Mine was connected to my brake light or tail light fuse. I don't remember which one. It took out my stereo, interior lights,and rear lights.

The 'ACC' fuse poweres the dome lights, lighter, the constant (memory) power to the radio and a few other minor things that escape me at the moment.
