Did you check your fuses with an ohm meter or just visual inspection? The ohm meter is the way to go.

Remember on an Ohm meter to take the fuse out first!!

i checkt them they were ok , but now i bought the new ones and still the same

Sounds like the "ground" demons are out again. Check to see if you are getting power on one side of your fuse by connecting a volt meter to the fuse tab and the other terminal to a good ground. If you get voltage, start tracing. Let us know how it goes.

I agree with Keith, it's probably a fusible link. Did the same thing to a Ford Courier (Mazda B1600) pickup once.
