Question
Hello!  I have a 2006 Corolla S.  I was installing a wired FM modulator for use with an IPOD.  I had the device powered (temporarily) by touching it to connnection the cig lighter uses.  As I was taking this off, the wire brushed up against something and caused a short.  Now, the manual says that the clock, audio system and the cig lighter are on the same fuse.  Upon inspection, the fuse was indeed broken.  I replaced it.  Have tested it with a tester thing (w/ light) and the new fuse works.  Also, one of the wires that goes into the back of the stereo is getting power (according to the tester) but I dont know how many are supposed to be getting power.  I suspect I blew an inline fuse somewhere.  However, I do not know where this would be.  This could be wrong as well.  Any info would be helpful.  

Answer
there is another fuse under the hood  what is not working after you replace the fuse?
did you know that there is a port  in the back of your radio
to plug aux input or the ipod ?
