Unhappy no radio, or interior lights?

so a while back my sun visor broke while I was going around a curve. (used to have a cd holder on it.) so when it fell I quickly grabbed it and pulled it off the wires it was hanging by. now my radio, center console lights, and interior lights don't work. I checked the fuses and they looked ok. could the wires in the sun visor have anything to do with the radio and interior lights??? or could I have just overlooked a fuse or something?

check your 15a fuse in the interior by the foot well the wires running into the visor will blow this fuse..

thanks, I'll check this out, going to shops get pretty expensive so I hope it's just a blown fuse.

well, I checked the fuse but it doesn't look blown. also the key fob won't work either. so no radio, no center console lights, no interior lights, and the key fob doesn't work.

Check the fuses under the hood. I had one blown and couldn't even start the car. Fixed it for 5 bucks. Sounds like the same issue you are having.

You might want to get a set of wiring diagrams so you can trace for yourself. Here is one source: http://www.mazdatrix.com/8manuals.htm.

Check the battery inside the remote. It might be dead.
