Default Don't be con-fused

Some of you may remember my thread while trouble shooting my blower motor. Turns out that it was the fuse all along. Even though I had checked voltage across the fuse several times, and had power. After taking a large part of the dash and console apart to find 3 switches (working with a very poor wiring schemtic) I finale pulled the fuse out. The end cap came off! Even though the filiment in the glass part of the fuse looked good and even intermittently conducted power (ever time when I checked it) the fuse was parted at the end cap.

Oh well, while everything was apart, I detailed the console panel, trouble shot the door ajar light, reparied the cigarette lighter and light, and finished installing the carpet that sat in my attic way too long.
