well here's the deal, cigarette lighter is gone, no power at all, i used the hott wire from the sensor i think may be the cruise control on the brake pedal, hooked it up there, works like a charm. any problem with hooking it up there? ran into another problem here and there but put it on another thread.

I am 99% certain the cig fuse is not under the hood. I think it is under the dash. At least for the SN's.

Also when checking fuses, use a volt/ohm meter. It does not happen often but I have had the fuse look ok by the naked eye only to find out it was dead with the meter.
