@MDarius: nothing new to report yet, and I am honestly surprised. I still have the resettable circuit breaker in the fuse position and all systems have been working normally since then; nothing blown long enough to track down what the problem is.
Blown fuse? Radio, clock, and cig. outlet don't have power anymore.

Bummer. You were supposed to solve it so the rest of us just do what you did and wouldn't have to keep chasing our issues.
I've been workin at it 
It's really strange how long this has gone on. FWIW I am taking her in for a dift issue to the same mech that suggested this route, so can see if he has any more ideas on this. Will most def keep this thread updated.

Mine was blowing the 10A dome fuse and finally started to do it consistently this week. It turned out to be the stereo amp. Since I am using the deck's amp I just unplugged and tossed the original.

I was searching this exact same issue for my old 95 Corolla. Good ‘ol Mud to the rescue. I’ll check my cig lighter fusible link.
I, being the dumbass that I am, hooked up one of those Harbor Freight solar trickle chargers up to mine and I’ll bet you that’s what’s up. I’ll check the dom fuse too because the dome light doesn’t work either.

Liar!
While installing an aftermarket market radio to replace the old aftermarket radio in my 94, my buddy touched hot and ground wires causing a small spark. 12v is present at the radio harness, 12v st cig lighter, no fuses popped (ohmd out ok), locks work, truck starts etc. Still digging into this but not sure where else to go.
What systems are not working? That would point you in the right direction.
Figured it out. The yellow wire (constant power) was not showing 12v at the radio plug. Ended up being a non visible blown 10amp (dome light)fuse in the under hood fuse box. Its amazing how interconnected the systems are.
That's not really "amazing" considering that's where radio power comes from. You might want to get a wiring diagram of the truck.
You should also check fuses with a meter, not your eyeballs.
Appreciate the helpful comment. I'm not much for electronics or schematics but do a fantastic job with autobody repairs and keep people from dying despite their best efforts to the contrary. A wiring diagram is on my short list of things to get. I've had the truck about a month and am learning quite a bit. I'm used to the wiring on the BMW e30 chassis and this is far more complex. In all seriousness, any good suggestions for learning about schematics? Thanks
Appreciate all the thought that has gone into this issue. Especially jonheld: Check fuses with a meter, not your eyeballs. Turned out the intact-looking 15 A lighter fuse was blown. Replaced. Now all happy. New compact meter in the center console.
Cheers.
