Car was fine last night. I go out this morning and my Keyless entry doesn't work, odd. Then I start it up and my clock, radio, headlights, door locks and mirrors do not work. My Airbag light is also coming on. I checked fuses and All of these things are on Maxi Fuse 14 under hood. Fuse is good and has power on both sides. Then I check the indivual fuses under dash and I have no power on fuses 5 and 8 which would control most of these things. Anyone have any ideas? Not sure where to go from here.

Did you check the individal fuses in the black power distribution box under the hood. Once open you will see all the 20-25-and 30 amp fuses that are in a row. If all the under the dash fuses are good, then I'm guessing one of them under the hood is gone. I just fixed a simular problem yesterday on mine. My power seats and cigarete lighters wouldn't work. I found the 1 30 amp was gone under the hood.
 
Anyone? I'm thinking I may have to take it to the dealer. I'm losing power between the under hood power block and the block under the dash. I don't think they would put a fusible link on that since there is a big maxi fuse in the engine compartment.
 
I have wondered about the wiring from the distribution block to the interior fuse box. I see a decent voltage drop in between the two on my 94. At some point, I will have to take the underhood fuse box out and give it a once over.
