Fuses?

These items are currently not working
power antenna
power mirrors
dome light
light in console
trunk release from inside the car.
Any ideas?!
My power windows are working though.

Courtesy (CTSY) fuse, should be about 20 amps.

There's a panel that opens above the driver's knee, behind that is the fuse block. Look for the one labeled "CTSY" and replace it.

Or if you don't know the specific fuse, just spend a couple minutes and remove every fuse and look for one that is open (blown).

Wow, what kind of midget placed the fuse box?!?! After a bit of swearing and contorting my body on the pavement im 6'2 and 240 lbs i managed to peek my head in the general area... found the courtesy fuse and removed it. looked around pulled another fuse and placed it there. Everything lit up, i was extatic. this was the first "repair" i've done myself to the Car i feel great the sense of accomplisment is out of this world I've got a neighboor with a 12 second cutlass (here in Calgary) his garage was open and i walked up and asked. he had a fuse for me.

Apeiron, i owe you a few beers if you wouldnt mind
