Now NONE of the interior lamps work. NOTHING inside works now - not my clock, radio, odometer, etc. I can start my D2 and the headlights will come on. Everything was else worked fine before I started trying to fix the rear cargo light. Does anyone know how I broke everything else??

You are right, I did blow a fuse. Good news is that cargo light now works. Bad news is that I knocked that little thingy off that holds the screw thingy (that you have to turn with a quarter to turn). It is down below where all the uses are and is wedged good into to the far left under the panel opening. Since it is plastic, a magnet won't pick it up. My needle nose plyers are straight. I guess it's up to radio shack again! I think I saw pliers that have an angle on them there. When oh when will I wise up and quit trying to fix things myself?? Hopefully, this trip up I will also remember to buy a panel popper (if they have them). I have been using a salad fork!   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Senior Member Username: Deanbrown3d Post Number: 899 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 06:33 pm:    Get a flexible grabber, they're only a few dollars, I keep one with me in the vehicle, you can't believe how many times its pick out someone's bolt or screw or air-box clip from the depths of the engine!   Andrew Maier (Newman) Senior Member Username: Newman Post Number: 277 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 07:24 pm:    Salad fork as panel popper, eh? That's a good idea! I've been buying bags of those things and just replacing them...   Edward Bibb (Heirless) New Member Username: Heirless Post Number: 40 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 12:04 am:    jamie.. be careful using the restroom, seems everything you have been touching is breaking...hahaha.
