You know, I thought about the under hood fuses but didn't type those in with
the under dash fuses.

I think this is it.

Under the hood, behind the battery is a black box. Take the lid off of this
and you will see a bunch of relays, that is for the fuel pump, auto shut
down, a/c, etc. The contents are written on the inside lid of the box, just
like a box of chocolates.

Bascially there are 7 really big fuses, and two regular blade fuses (or
whatever they are called).

The 20 amp yellow fuse is for the hazard flashers (on the right)
The 5 amp tan fuse is for the Interior lamps and power mirrors (hint hint,
check this). (on the left)

For the big ones from left to right while resting on the driver side fender
is

Empty
50 amp red - headlamp switch
20 amp blue - underhood lamp - time delay relay
50 amp red - iginition system
30 amp pink - Powertrain contol module (PCM) (i.e. computer)
40 amp green - Ignition switch
30 amp pink - A/C clutch - Radiator fan Relay
40 amp green - ABS system

Also, this 50 amp red might be good for the other guy with the extra lights
where he wanted a switched 12 volt, unless this is where he already tried.
