Default wiring problem with fuse box...no lights

Hey guys Im having a weird problem with my 1995 dakota 2wd 3.9L

For some reason on the fuse block inside the truck, fuse #6,7,8 all have no power when tested with a test light, also tested with the fuses out and no power also. Thus I have no lights, horn etc....just wondering where I would start to check, Ive looked at all the fuses and tried looking for oxidation/burnt wire with no luck...any help is greatly appreciated.

There is a fuse box under the hood. The large fuses supply power to the smaller fuses. The FAQ has the diagrams, as well as the service manual which will have the wiring diagrams. If all the fuses are good trace the wire down and see where it goes.

Fuses 5, 6, 7, 8, and 20 are fed by Fuse G (50A) in the Power Distribution Center, the box under the hood Crazy mentioned.

I tried swapping the 2 red jpeg fuses the 50a ones but I never checked to see if the blower motor worked.... i guess if it works then i need to trace the wires from the box down in the harness and try and find a short? its funny cause they all worked 3 days ago until i took a 50 mile trip now nothing.
