The link that PD put up has fixed this problem for someone in the past IIRC. It is one place to start with any electrical problems.

LOL, man, or woman. I don't think there's a woman alive that has the knowledge of an LS as much as, the man, PureDrifter does. Many times I thought "you the man".

No, no "fuse". You can adjust it manually but I can't remember off hand how to do it. If you search a little you might find it. Actually I think it shows it in the owners manual if you still have that with your car.
