strange ACC power problem

hey i cant get any power from the ACC wires from either the audio and now it seems from the turbo timer harness coming off the key barrel.

everything else is fine, all fuses inside the cabin are good and those in the engine bay too!!! basically everythign works except for the stereo and things running from te turbo timer harness (has power to eject cds though). The stereo does have power to eject cds though.

I dont think ive forgotten any fuses but is there anywhere i should check?

My cigarette lighter keep cutting power for no apparent reason.

I dug into the center console and found some worn out wiring somewhere behind the light dimmer switch. These are pretty thin wires back there, and I wondered how long they could hold up using a 10A fuse.

I ended up just installing my own wiring for the various accessories I have mounted now.

These cars have a slight power drain, for the radio, and the factory alarm. It's very minute <--spelling ? Depending on what fan mod you have (if any) and how you leave the switch, this could also add to battery drain.
