thanks! any other suggestions?? anyone??
im having sorta the same problem, inside lights dont work, window wont roll up, cd player wont work, nothing on the inside, but the air bag light will come on when i turn the key, and the engine will turn over 
2 questions.
Question 1. What did you do to blow the fuse in the first place?
Question 2. Does anything else in your car not work? Check your dome light, or your guages.
Diagnosis: There are 3 more fuses you should check and then report back to me your findings.
7.5A Panel
10A Dome
20A Radio
Take a look at those 3 fuses and see if they are blown. If you still can't figure it out, I will take a look at it tomorrow for you Marco. Ok I'm going to sleep now.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH DERRICK!!! do you got any extra fuses by any chance? just in case i cant find any at home.... THANKS!!
I have a whole collection of fuses in many different sizes, amperage and color. OOO just thinking about electrical wiring get's me all excited inside! 
UPDATE i changed the nessessary bulbs but it still doesnt work! i checked the radio wiring and it looks fine! dang i dunno what to do now!!! >__<
Does this have anything to do with the relays? I had an issue with the power iwndows and mirrors and also blower motor not work due to the starter selinoid. But this was in a BMW.

Probably one or more wires are burned...you'll need to trace them and do the necessary surgeries...or just hook the accessory wire (Accessory Gray + at Ignition Harness) to ur clock and radio ,that should do the trick.

Dude Macro, I totally forgot you had this problem! I had all day yesterday that I could have helped you out with it haha. I'm going to come over with an EWD and volt meter and we are going to get to the bottom of this!
sooo derrick when u wanna come over and do dis??? this sunday?? oh yeah i also bought bulbs for my gauges and i will probably need your help on that too!! haha Thanks!!
Hmm ok Sunday AS OF RIGHT NOW looks good hahaha. I'll let you know as it approaches closer. Remind me like the day before. Your never on aim so call me or myspace me haha. I would be glad to help you out with it, but I need your help with something too. Let me repaint some of your interior pieces please oh please! I will show you in person how to properly paint them and your interior will look fantastico!
sure u can paint my interiors!! hahaha
so yeah its been several days now and still.... nothing of it still works...ive also reset the ECU to see if it worked but didnt.....ONE THING ive found out is that, everytime either I or a friend exits the door, after i shut off the engine, we get that static shock when the touch the body on the car...i dont know if it has to do something with it? how can i stop that?
bump??
I'm sorry I haven't been able to help you out with this Marco. I really want to, but my next availible Sunday will be the Sunday Dec 8th.
did you guys ever figure this out? i am really interested, the guy thats working on my car said something about it maybe being an inline fuse. but the odd thing about mine is my fuse block isnt getting any power, but the car will turn over and start, headlights work fine, etc etc. but no dome lights, no turn signals, no dash lights, no cd player
In summary, you had a blown fuse, replaced it and now your cig lighter works but your radio and clock doesn't?
Radio needs both the "radio 1" fuse and the "cig. and radio" fuse.
Cigarette lighter needs the "cig. and radio" fuse.
Clock needs the "panel", "cig. and radio" and the "dome" fuses.
Either you have multiple fuses failed, or you have something unplugged (eg. at J/B #3) or you have one or more broken/burned wires, or the fault caused a power surge that damaged both the radio and the clock. The last one seems to be very unlikely to me.
If your horn and hazards work, but your dome and radio doesn't, check the shorting pin. It looks like a regular fuse and is in the main engine bay fuse box. It is usually white in colour.

Windows need the "Door", "Gauge" and "Power" fuses as well as a correctly functioning "power main relay".
For your problem, it would be useful to have a more complete list of exactly what is still working and what isn't.

alright, here is the list of the non-working
blinkers
dash lights
cd player
window roll up/down on both sides
brake lights
Tachometer
Fuel Gauge
Temp Gauge
WOrking:
High Beam indicator on dash
Door Ajar indicator
dome lights work

Few more to check:
Healights (the actual headlights, not the tell-tale)
Horn
Hazard
Tail lights
Stop (brake) lights
Heater
Rear defogger
Air conditioning
Wipers
Cigarette lighter
SRS tell-tale on dash
Charge (battery) indicator on dash
Regarding the dome lights - did you do something to get them working or did you mis-remember whether they worked or not?
(My notes:
Looks like the dome and headlight circuits are working
Looks like panel and gauge circuits are not)

dude i get this also its kinda funny stings a bit. lol but i woudl check all of your power and grounds use a volt meter not a test light so u dont hurt your computer and if u trace the wireing u should be able to find the problem. our cars rnt that bad in the wireing department so u shoudl be able to find the problem it could be that u have a loose connection a coroded wire from water or battery acid or a secondary blown fuse i knwo i have 3 fuses for my cd player in my car i have 2 inline and the factory fuse so just trace the power and ground with a volt meter and u shoudl find the problem

haha wow thanks guys for all the info, ill try and look into it tommorow, but the weird part is that all my fuses are all good, i dont know if there are any "hidden" fuses that i dont know about?
the things that dont work are:
side door courtesy lights
dome light
Radio CD player
the light in the trunk
and the weird thing about these is that all the fuses for these are good, and i even installed new fuses just in case, and it still doesnt work! >_<
oh yeah, forgot to mention, im not an electrical guy so i dont want to mess with the wiring haha all i know is the basic stuff...dont wanna mess it up more ya know?

yeah marco, sorry to jack your thread 
but we are having just about the same problem. the guy thats working on it said that toyota dealer might have to fix it, said something about an inline fuse thats basically hidden. but yeah... i am still not getting any power to my fuse panel, but the dome lights work, so im really not sure what the crap

hahah wow, its okay torhne at least im not the only one having this problem,...the only thing is i dont feel like bringing my Celi to a Toyota dealer and spend a crapload of money on something very minor...i got one of the 6gc guys to hopefully to comeover and help out to fix the problem.
Marco, can you tell me if your horn and hazards work? Have you located the shorting pin? It looks like a regular fuse and is in the main engine bay fuse box. It is usually white in colour.
Torhne, if you can check those items I listed and let me know which are working and which aren't I may be able to help you further also.

BloodyStupidDavey my horn and hazards work perfectly. shorting pin? is it located in the main fuse box? ill try and look into it today. Thanks
>
Shorting pin is the most likely culprit then.
>
Yes, the main fuse box. The one near the battery. On the diagram on the fuse box lid, it is represented as rectangle with a diagonal line through it. You may even find that the shorting pin is missing.
