Check the bulbs, the owners manual will tell you what bulb to buy. Hopefully, it just bubls, or maybe a fuse.

#7 Fuse (15A) in the trunk doesn't even have a fuse in it...and the chart lists that as one of the courtesy lamp fuses. WTF? I switched it...didn't do anything.

Hmmmmm...

Bump...this is really annoying me. Can't figure it out for the life of me. Searched all fuse boxes (well...except for under the passenger seat...I didn't see that one right off hand)...couldn't find anything.

So it's not listed anywhere in the fuse box. You could always take it in, and have a tech or SA tell you what it is.

Yeah...that's more than likely the route I'll go. Friggin' stealership. They'll probably charge me $200.

If you have a talk with your Service Advisor, hopefully they won't. I have a good relationship with my SA and Service Manager, and hopefully I would think that they wouldn't charge me. But it is a business, and that business is to make money. So good luck

I told my most recent SA to suck it when they charged me almost $1000 for a Service D servicing after I discovered that most folks spend between $400-$500 on it. And no, there weren't any additional services performed.

My fault partially for not doing my research prior to the servicing to uncover how much it should have cost.
