I don't have one here to look at. I remember replacing one of the yellow holder fuses but it has been years and I don't recall it being an ordeal.

SUCCESS! It was that 10A fuse! Yay! Radio, dash computer, interior lights and door ajar light back in business. That yellow box had to be pried off from below, then unclipped. Thanks for the info. It saved me at least $100 for the "We'll have a look, but that sounds pretty major." from garage.

Now I need to figure out how to get my shift-indicator light and the lights for fan and temp dials working. It doesn't seem to be the fuse on those. Where do I check the bulbs?

Thanks again.

Glad to hear you solved that problem. Tomorow I'll try to make pictures showing the steps needed for replacning those fuses (for the database i hope).
The lights for the climatte control unit: there is a lot of treats about replacing these lights... surch for it.
p.s. Here is One another more and so on... Just surch around whith key word "bulb" or ""light".
Good luck
