If i'm not mistaken, the fuse block is on the passenger side, under the glove compartment.

I don't have my car yet, so to be honest I'm not sure. Typically it's under the driver's kick panel somewhere. Should tell you in your manual somewhere

There is a fuse-block on the driver's side. Underneath, near the parking brake and below the trunk/fuel release buttons.

All us people who direct-wired our V1's know exactly where it is and playing with the new micro-fuses.

Look like there are 3 fuse block on the car :1 in driverside instrument panel, 1 in passenger side instument panel and 1 in the engine compartment. ( on page 296 on your manual )

well i blew a fuse! the first one i checked was the blown one..it was in the fuse box under the hood on the passenger side..the one marked "dome".FYI if you blow a fuse..dont count on finding it at your local auto parts store. i went to pep boys autobarn and another local auto place and none of them had this fuse. its a 10a mini fuse..but the ones that the auto places carry have much longer prongs on them and wont work in place of the fuses that came in there..so ic alled lexus and they have the fuse there for $1.78. so i gotta go drive to lexus tomorrow to get it ..which is ok because i can show my car off a little

I think you need to show it off in working order. Things added after the factory always seem to have problem no matter what kind of install you do. Like i posted earlier i was pretty sure after hearing someone had been hacking into the car that the problem was going to be related to that. Hopefully you can get it figured out to work as good as factory without any more problems.

i'm going to replace the fuse so it works..and then go talk to my sales woman and ask her if she wants to see my car ...shes pretty cool and shes around the same age as me so when i'm there i usually go in and chat with her for a while

Smart move.

Looks like the dome light fuse that you blew and replaced is the lowest amp fuse of the ones that you suspected. It may be that it is low enough that you aren't going to be able to add any aftermarket stuff to it. Hopefully your installed for the extra lights knows about fuses and ampere ratings. You shouldn't have to do that yourself. And, if your installer doesn't know about fuses and ampere ratings, you don't want them messing around in the fuse box.

Actually the fuses from the auto store fit, they just don't insert all the way. The pins do make good contact, the plastic top just sticks out a little. They'll get you by in a pinch, but you won't be able to get the fusebox cover on.

aaah..good to know..would've been nice if the guys in all of the auto stores knew that..but i actually dont mind going to the dealer once in a while and the fuse was only 2 bucks so no biggie..i put the fuse in today and everything is working fine again
