While checking the wires going to my headunit, the antenna wire touched the heatsink on the HU and a fuse seems to have blown out. The glove box light went out, the dome light went out,the headunit isn't getting power, and the BINGER noise thing doesn't happen when the key is in the ignition with the doors open, except for only when the seatbelt light is on..

I checked the fuses under the hood and they all seem to be OK, but I didn't have time to pull each one and check it for sure because I had about 3 minutes to get to work when this happened..?

Are there any fuses located anywhere else in the car and what fuse did I blow out?

Thanks

Dittos here - no glovebox light...?
But I have another issue - no trunk light. I replaced the bulb, but still no workie. No wonder I couldn't find a fuse for this under the hood...maybe it's under the dash...I feel dumb now, as I had no idea all these fuses were under the dash.

Yea, found the fuse..

And yes I do have a glovebox light, as well as a seatbelt chime and seatbelt light in the dummy cluster. I just recently found out this is not normal for a 96gt..?
