Electrical Problem

Last year my Max was ripped off. When I retrieved it from the impound yard the ignition had been screwed up (used bent scissors to start the car). The Nissan dealer replaced the ignition switch before the insurance company decided to consider it a total loss - I was able to buy it back with a salvaged title.

Since then I've had one minor electrical problem. The front overhead lights don't work (the ones that have separate buttons for each side), neither does the chimes that indicate your keys are still in the ignition or that your headlights are still on. Dealer said it had nothing to do with the ignition replacement and wanted a $$$ diagnostics fee.

I checked the fuses, one blown. Tried replacing it but blows again right away. Anyone have a wiring diagram that might indicate a good place to start, some where that these two things are tied in together?

Checked autozone.com?

Throw the chime block away, try fuse again.
