fuses & relays
there is a string on here that already covered that but can't find it. for your case, check the F4 fuse under the steering column here, it controls your audio system, cigar lighter, clock and airbag (where applicable)..
here's the listing of the engine bay fusebox if you are interested in having it as a record.. you can print and keep for later.. or laminate it like i did and stick it under your fusebox if it doesn't come with the layout sticker..

fuses ok?
wait. are you saying you've checked all your fuses at both locations (under-dash & engine bay) and none are blown..? how are you checking..? visually or using a meter testing continuity..?

complete electrical check advised
good one. may i say, that while you're at it, just go ahead and check all fuses. i found these when i was doing an electrical audit of my car and was more than surprised. let alone pissed at the previous owner!

**Do not buy from me**
it does sound like fuse under the steering wheel think its 15amp or 10amp fuse
Which pic am I looking at?
Yeah I thought that. But they are all fine and my cigarette lighter still works :s

linked text
i often link text in my replies so that the text window is kept tidy but i remember you mentioned an iPhone at some point. if you are looking at the forum from there, i'm not sure how it handles linked text so here is the image i was telling you about the fuses i found on my car as i was doing a routine electrical audit: https://picasaweb.google.com/114396...key=Gv1sRgCPCpv5PEwvSzvQE#5581222348023409506

you may want to hold off the auto-electrician and let us (all) have another go at troubleshooting. you might be surprised to find that it's a very simple fault.. 
Lol.
Well the fuse it should be it isn't.
The clock is visible in the pitch black with the headlights on. But any other time it looks like it's not on.
The cd player won't turn on and the interior cockpit light doesn't work either.
I need someone with electrical knowledge to have a blast on it tbh I'm a Mechanical engineer so I don't know electrics.
But I've shorted something somewhere obviously

current leak
alright mate. in instances like this when the obvious symptoms yield no results, it may be best to look at other areas, and like you say, your strength is in mechanics, not electronics and electricals..
the fact that your dash clock is dimly visible proli means there is a current leak..

I can understand that and it makes sense. My cigarette lighter still works too which is on the same fuse.
How can I see if that's the case?

multimeter
well, for starters, you need a multimeter. let me see if i can get electrical schematics and pix to assist you on where to start.. will revert a little later.
