DANG IT! Sheaoutch!

I had the exact same thing happen to me with shorting a fuse b/c of the trunk light. First and foremost, if something goes out now, I always check and recheck all my fuses b/c that's where most electrical problems seem to start from. It also helps to have the owners manual, or another book that has fuse diagrams in it, so if and when something goes out you know where to look first.

I was lucky that I thought about ordering the owner's manual.  The 7.5 fuses have a wire about the thickness of a human hair.  Hard to see if one is blown.

Do yourself a favor and keep a supply of fuses with you.  I've blown all sorts of fuses, the most common being the power window fuse (20A I believe), but I've also blown the power mirror fuse, aux fan fuse and a couple of others that I can't think of at the moment.
