First, just don't "CHECK" the fuses. Trying replacing them. Some fuses will go bad and burn at an end where it's hard to really tell. Move the fuse to another circuit with a known good fuse and recheck if the problem is solved. No go? Then its not the fuse. It's in the circuit.
Sometimes the circuit may have a circuit breaker inline and you need to check that too.
With it being the interior lights, door locks, and radio lights, it could be two different circuits, or a power supply issue. Get a wiring diagram and see what wires are in common. That's the place to start. It could be a switch, a contact, or corrosion on a wire end. Check all this.
WIRING PROBLEMS ARE SO MUCH FUN TO FIX.

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.
1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.
13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane
I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter
.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos

You'll have to describe the issue in more detail...
Checking the fuses and connections is fine...pull/inspect/replace...even with different ones.
Do you have a model specific electrical diagram ...?
If all else fails...check w/your local library...see if they have offsite or only on site access to their
vehicle database resources...?
Hope that's a starter...
