I'd still be willing to bet that there is a blown fuse. Give it another go. Make sure the key is in the accessory posistion.

Check them again. Not poking fun at you. I have done this more than once. Double and triple check. If that dose not work and you do not get a respond from some one ells here that knows what’s up(and you might), go to www.alldata.com and purchase the information for your vehicle for 20 bucks. You will be able to trace that circuit all the way back to the battery using the diagrams and schematics that they provide. They even give you physical locations of every connector (with pin out) and every harness in your car.
The best of luck to ya!

When you said 7 fuses did not light, did one side light but not the other? Or were both sides out? Accessory is the posistion where every function (radio, HVAC, etc) works, while the motor is off. Some fuses like buss or blade fuses can actually be blown but still light up a test light light. -------------

You need to check both sides of the fuse to determine if it is blown.

If one side lights up and the other side does not, that fuse is blown.
