costs a couple dollars for a pack of 5. On the inside of the kick panel cover there is a diagram. You could also get in there with a flashlight and look for blown fuses.

ditto.

Had the fuse keep blowing on me once... turned out a dime had fallen to the bottom and was short circuiting the deal. Figured it out after 3 fuses in 3 minutes
