I have no power to 1 row of fuses that controls brake lights,dome lights, and cigeratte lighter.Even with no power to this circuit if i leave the battery cables hooked up there is a serious drain on the battery within 2 hours it is dead.I have since used a jumper wire to go from the rear window defogger to power up the row of fuses that has no power so i can drive the car.I am trying to trace this problem down myself since i do not have a lot of money for repairs but i am not much of an electrician.I have checked all the fuses both in the car and in the firewall realy control and they are good.I am suspecting a fuseable link bad but how do i find it if that is the case?Thanks for the help.

Check the power distribution center BATTERY 1 60 amp maxi fuse, it's the fusebox under the hood.
