Electrical System

I have a 1995 Pontiac Formula Firebird. The power mirrors, interior lights, radio, and cigarette lighter do not work.

The radio will be light up if I turn on my lights, but it doesn't power on. I thought it might be my fuses so I checked my radio fuses and they came back normal. I replaced them anyways, with no luck.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can solve this problem?

Yes, get the electrical schematics for this car and begin tracing wires.

Did you check ALL the fuses? I had a similar problem, the interior lights no longer worked, the keyless entry remote didn't work and the radio reset its self on every start. I was getting ready to dive into wires and a friend checked and replaced the fuses and now everything works fine. Sometimes its the simplest things

Yeah, I checked out the fuses. I mean it doesn't even power on. And the mirrors don't make noise. I am thinking they probably all share a similair point of error. Like perhaps there is one area that runs power to all of them that is not recieving power.
