X2 for what both of them said ^

I had my cluster go out and my parking lights as well as all the lights in my car, Got the fuses checked replaced one and everything works fine.

...the thing is, fuses dont blow for no reason...yeah replacing them makes it work, but for how long...i would say bad ground, or a draw somewhere...im not sure, but there has to be a larger issue if its blowing a fuse.

True statement.

Change the fuse... if it does it again then it's time to look for problems...

If I raise or lower both of my windows at the same time it blows the fuse, but of course the set up is all after market. Needless to say I keep a few extra fuses on hand.

if u have the stock remote starter and keyless entry, its in the fuse box located at the lower passenger kick panel... its a 15amp fuse which is correspondent with the radio fuse... they are the same fuse! trust me, same **** happend to mine... replaced the fuse, and it works... dealer cheked it out and its still warranted... didnt cost me a penny cuz i have spare fuses
