Default No electric to vanity mirrors.

2004 CE convertible. I don't have any electric to either of the vanity mirrors.
Does anyone know what fuse this might be?
Thanks for any help.

Fuse 2 in footwell. If your rearveiw mirror lights or underhood lamp work it's not the fuse.

Hmmm. Thanks. Underhood light has never worked. Rear view mirror lights work fine. Guess multimeter and I need to go to work.

Turns out you were exactly right. Thank you! The rear view mirror light also was not working. Fuse #2 was blown. Replaced it. Now have vanity mirror lights and rear view mirror lights. Still no under hood light.

Cool. BTW - If you aren't the original owner of the car, chances are the PO removed the underhood bulb. Remove the lens and check before troubleshoot too much.

Thanks. I've owned it since new. But will check the bulb first anyway. It was a showroom car and dealer had the hood open so they might have removed the bulb. I've never worried about it.

Could be a bad bulb or bad connection on the bulb. A lot of times the connection loosens from dropping the hood to close it
