Default Fuse Question

Is there a fuse that controls the backlighting on the controls for the radio, AC and options pod? I looked but found nothing in the Owners Manual. I've turned the interior light control to max and it does work on the backlighting for the gauge cluster but that's all.

Thanks for any info
Kelly

Yep, its in the under hood fuse block, fuse #8 called pk lamps. Why that I don't know. The #10 on the side of the block diagram points right at it. This is on an 05. Again, it is fuse #8.

ByByBMW I found the fuse and you are correct it was blown. (insert homotron joke here.) Problem is that it still goes bad. So I apparently have a bigger problem.
Anyone happen to have schematics for a C6?

Thanks again for you help.
