well, we know it isn't the climate unit........
fuses are in the drivers kick panel behind the carpet, and under the hood.

i dont think it would light up if it was a fuse though.. there should be no power going to the unit if it was a fuse.. it has to be another problem..

Good question...I don't know the answer, but this is often the issue with faulty climate control units.
