Instrument & parking lights won't turn on
I need help!! The other night, my instrument lights went out. I replaced the fuse & then it shorted out a couple hours later. I replaced it with an even higher amp fuse, but it still blew. I checked & replaced all the fuses, still my instrument lights won't illuminate. Also, none of my parking lights go on. My headlights pop-up but won't go back down. What could be the problem???

I have the EXACT same problem, my fuse for the dash lights keep blowing and thats the same circuit for the glovebox light, ashtray light, and liscense plate lights. I have checked all the wiring and still havnt found where it is shorting, but I'm pretty positive it is behind the center console. Its just one of those projects I haven't had time for.

you shouldn't go for a fuse with a higher ampere rating. fuses are meant to blow out and cut the circuit before everything fries. a higher rated fuse will just allow more current to get pumped into the electrics, which could lead to even bigger problems.
