Default Help with identifying which fuse.

I opened my manual and it jumps from 5-88 to 6-17. Go figure. I'm looking to determine which fuse is associated with the under hood light on my '05 and what else does it do. Thanks.

Don't know but maybe this will help track it down. Link to online owner's manual, just click on "Electrical" and check the fuses section. Good luck.

I looked at an electronic copy of the 2005 owner's manual I have and I couldn't find it listed for either fuse box.

Thanks rick. I checked it out closely and didn't find it. I`ll see if it comes under the courtesy light fuse.

Here is the schematic showing the Underhood Lamp wired to the Courtesy Lamp fuse.

Thanks to all who responded. I replaced the fuse and all is well. What happened was I decided to switch to an LED for show purposes when I flickered the light blowing the fuse. The supplier (who will remain nameless) instructions were to bend the "copper" ends of the light housing over to crimp the cheaply made wires on the LED. I'm not in the habit of doing this shoddy type of work so now have an LED on my shelf. 20 bucks down the tube... Oh well...
