I'm going to pull the Cruise switch (next to Aux in the 105b connector block) and pull the Cruise Control connector from the main harness and see if my Aux and Cigarette power are back. I don't have the special ignition switch tool to move the ignition switch location so I have to keep taking it apart and putting it back together - a pain.
I wonder if I screwed up something in the ignition switch? (But the radio comes on...)

Thanks for that. I wasn't looking forward to doing that. I'm going to pull the Cruise Switch and Cruise control and try to set it back to normal and see what happens.

This is getting weirder and weirder.
(I put the ignition switch back on without the inner cap on so I could try some things and move the switch to different positions to turn lights on and off.)
Current configuration after installing the Cruise Control and Cruise Control Switch: The Cruise Switch light comes on and the Aux Switch light does not and the cigarette lighter doesn't work.
But, [here's the weird part] if I switch the Accessory Fuse and the P & A Fuse (both 15 A) then the Cruise Switch light won't work but the Aux Switch light and the Cigarette lighter work! I've tried it with other fuses as well. If I switch the original Accessory Fuse out with any other 15A fuse then the Cruise control Switch light won't light but the Aux Switch light will and the cigarette lighter works!
Weird!!!!

Try removing the switch housing. When you remove it do they now work? if so you have a mis-routed or pinched wire.

Electrical Head Scrather - FOUND IT!
Well, after four fuses and a few beers and a lot of swearing at everything but myself, I found it. One of the other things I did in this winter mod project was new fork lowers. It seems, buried way back there in a dark and distance place hard to see and access, I may have pinched a wire from the Sirius Satellite radio powered from the cigarette lighter under the left side fork cap! Doh!! 
So everything was fine till I plugged that in and then 'pop'! There goes another.......Now I just have to replace four 15A fuses....... Thanks all.
Okay, I am now open to the appropriate ridicule I so justly deserve.......
