Well, something went blink, and now my odometer, speedometer, and car heater do not work. Would this be the instrument cluster or the FEM (Front Electronic Module)?
10/27/08: I was successful in cross-splicing the tail and brake lights and got them to work without replacing the Rear Electronic Module (REM). I checked the interior fuse panel to find that Fuse No. 10 had blown. I replaced this fuse and now the odometer, speedometer, heater, air-conditioner, and cruise control all work! I think I caused the No. 10 to blow when I was poking around on the trailer wiring harness trying to get power to the tail and brake lights. Who Knew?
