Ugh, just what I had to do. BUT...I found it

For some godforsaken reason the accessory fuse is wired with the taillamps...why they did not just make a switch called 'ACCESSORY' is beyond me.

Oh, and as far as fishing goes, I checked ALL of the interior fuses, one by one, THEN went to the hood, starting in the lower-right hand corner. What does that mean? That the last f'ing fuse was the one that blew. lol

Well, back to the soldering iron!

New Issue, old post.

It looks like this thread may have died . . . but at any rate, I didn't want to start a new post for a question dealing with dash lights since this one was already here.

My dash lights have recently started to blow the 7.5 minibus fuse that's plugged into the int. illum. slot. I have made no changes to the car, such as new electronics. I replaced the fuse, and everything worked fine for about a day or two. Then I am left in the dark again.

Also, I've noticed that when the dash lights aren't working, the dimmer also does not work. With the fuse in place and working properly, the dimmer works just fine.

I've tried turning on interior lights, my air conditioner, my stereo, cranking the volume (doesn't sound pretty, I have four blown speakers and no cash), rolling the windows up and down, and even blowing the horn. So far, nothing seems to add up.

I'd appreciate any help from someone who has more insight than I, or even better, someone who has experieced the same problem. I'll pay in Kudos.
