You mean your positive and negative touched, and created a shortage? I would recheck the fuse first.

I did the EXACT SAME THING a few months ago!!! It's just a fuse. I can't remember which one... but it's either in the fusebox under the steering wheel or the one behind the driver's side headlight. Either a 10 or 15 amp one. Just check through all of them and see which one is blown.

It's your Caps Lock key.









okay seriously, there is a fuse in the box to the left of your steering wheel. Check for Interior Light fuses. Even if they look good, swap them with a good one to make sure.

There are two brake switches on the brake pedal. One to turn the lights on, the other to release the shift lock.

It's definitely a fuse. Probably 15a #2 fuse in the fuse block.

Wow, glad you finally saw the light...or at least the fuse powering the light.

Was going to have to call up to see if Blackwind was in Nevada, you almost needed a donkey punch to the head there.
