Default Interior lights and radio

Ok so I hit the brakes hard and lost my interior lights and radio. I checked my fuse in the dash and its fine but theres no power going to the fuse. I checked in my fuse box under the hood and everything looks good there any one got any other Ideas or things to look at? I really could use some help with this as I have no Idea what it could be.

Fuse 12, 10A in the junction box in the cab. Sounds like you already checked and it was good.

Next check Fuse 1, 50A in the PDC under the hood (it's next to the battery). That feeds your interior stuff... so it might be popped.

A weak battery caused your interior lights and radio to go out? Thats odd but I'll check it. Cause I looked at all the fuses and they all looked good. so yea it wouldn't hurt I guess

Yeah, every time I hit the brakes, the lights went out. I thik it does this so there is enough energy to turn on the brake lights.

I'll check it but mine went out totally after slamming on the brakes Its kinda baffling actually. It was working fine then hit the brakes hard in traffic and boom no more radio then found out about the lights later down the road

Is there anything else that would be related power wise to the radio and interior lights that I can check to see if that works to know whether its a fuse or a crossed wire?
