Welcome Roadking66 !!!
Try checking the interior passenger side fuse box for #9 (20A). There's also a relay for it.
May also want to check #8 (7.5A) in the driver's side box.

Ok, here's the back story: Days ago noticed the power converter I usually plug into the under-armrest 12v power outlet stopped working. Thought it was trashed. Later, the radio did not power up one day. Checked the #9 fuse on passenger side. Blown. Replaced...entered radio code...everything good...I thought. Plugged in the radar detector in the forward center console accessory outlet...no power. Discovered later the metal button from that old power converter plug was missing. Discovered it inside the under-armrest accessory outlet (could this have shorted everything in the beginning?). So, where the heck is that relay 3.2TLc? Thanks.

Should be in the passenger side's interior fusebox.

^^It is, but it's on the inside (glove box side) of the panel. I'd bet money that your converter piece caused the short. It's pretty common with coins, especially in the front one. You probably won't have to mess with the relay.

Ok, so your radio works, and your front accessory plugin outlet works? IF so, its not a fuse or relay. All those items are on the same circuit. If its only the acc outlet in the center console that doesnt you need to take the console out and check the wiring.
