My 95 camry (156k miles) stopped having power in the cassette deck all
of a sudden. The cigarette lighter which is in the same module also
left power.
So pls pardon my ignorance about cars, but am I correct in assuming
some fuse is blown. How do I locate it and find out if its blown ?
thanks in advance.

Look in your owner's manual to determine where the fuses are located. Take
off the cover and look for the fuse that is labeled as running the circuit
that isn't working. Then, you'll probably see a dead fuse.

There is also a fusible link in the line too. Did you plugged in a laptop
if so they draw too much current and blow the fusible link!

============
While it's true the owner's manual will guide you to the correct fuse -
most likely under the hood near the left fender, you also need to
correct the cause of the problem, most likely a defect in the radio/
cassette player. I think I went through about three or four of these
before I bought an Alpine from Crutchfield that also plays MP3s. Even
with stock speakers the sound is excellent the features greatly
improved and better all around that the stock units at a reasonable
price.
