Hi,

Does anything on the instrument panel work? Also, do the interior courtesy lights work?

I attached two pics below. First is the wiring schematic and the second shows the two fuses I would like you to check. Both fuses are under the dash (driver's side). Check those and let me know not only if the fuses are good, but also if there is power to and from the fuse itself.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find and as much information as you can think of to help point me in the right direction.

Take care,
Joe
