Icon2 Help with radio and dome light not working

Need some help on my bro's 92 civic 4door. He came down a week ago and said his radio and dome light havent been working for awhile. So i did the usual and checked the fuses under the dash and none were blown. The sticker diagram for the fuse box in the engine bay is missing so i dont know if any fuses in there relate to dome or radio probs. Any ideas on what i could check? Ive got a multi tester, but never really used one. thx in advance guys

It usually has 2 fuse boxes the one on the driver side panel, and the one under the hood

your best bet would to be just look at all the fuses in the box under the hood and replace any that are bad

If they are good your gonna have to run a wire from an ignition source ( somthing that will turn on with the car) to the radio

does the dome light work at all? manually? or just doesn't work when you open the door?

take that multi tester and use it to see if the outlet is even get power for the dome.
and then same thing for radio.
you may have a bad wire or wires.

the dome light can either be manually turned on, or set to off but on with the doors open. I am asking if the dome light works at all, under any circumstances.

Dome light dont come on neither way, by door or on position. He was telling me the radio and dome both went out the same day so im thinkin some wires are messed up somewhere. I'll mess with the mulimeter tomorrow
