RE: Courtesy Light Bulb Changing...

1 Month ago I also changed my bulbs to G&E 194R bulbs. I bought them from Wal-Mart, but mine are red. When I read this forum, I ran down and checked all of my bulbs. All of my bulbs function fine, just as if they were regular bulbs. The only difference is that I did not change the glove-box light. It could be that this socket requires a lower power bulb, so you shorted out the system. I know it is not the bulbs because I just checked mine and they all function fine. Mechanics: Could it be the fuse relay? I don't really know what the problem is, but if you have the glove-box bulb, you should read it to see the wattage and voltage. Sorry I can't help much .

RE: Will D.B.M/ know...

Yes, he should know about fuses etc. But if he's like EVERYBODY else, he's at Maxus right now, checking out all of his fellow Maxima owners.
