Default Fuse problem need help

So i was trying to hook up specialty lights to the interior of my 2011 xB but I blew a fuse but not the one under the driverside panel. I have no lights on my radio or the climate control panel. Is there a fuuse somewhere else that I'm missing. I check all the ones in the normal fuse panel but all of them are fine.

Please help.

There's another fuse box in the engine compartment, near the air filter box.

All the fuses & functions are listed in the manual; there are several different fuses that control the radio (#12), gauges (#11), and A/C system (#10). You could start there.

Thanks for the quick response, I have just tried those but the all seem fine. Is there one behind the radio or between the ignition and and that center dash area?

Not that I know of. Since you lost the lights on the radio & climate controls, I would think it has to be a fuse in one of the two main fuse boxes.

are you just looking at the fuses or testing them? I've made that mistake a few times only looking and they look fine but indeed are blown.

Unhappy

Actually I bought a tester that sends a current through the fuse and then lights up if it's good. So far all have good. I even tested them two and three times because I figured maybe I missed one. But I still can't find it.

Pull the fuses listed for the radio, check them that way. Or get a multimeter. I've seen those test lights give incorrect readings before.

The radio still works. The LCD display is light up but the buttons are dark. I guess I'll have to pull them all.
