There are two fuse boxes in the 99RX, one in the engine compartment and one behind the pull-out on the left of the driver's steering wheel (lower dash). The manual contains the list of which fuse applies to which circuits. Sometimes fuses 'look' good but are not. If (and I do not know it is the case) the manula indicates that a fuse covers the power mirror+cig. lighter and windshield washer circuits, it might well be that the fuse 'looks good' but needs to be replaced. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It it not uncommon for fuses and contacts on connections in modern cars to get a little oxidization on those points and fail to carry the load through. The fuses and contacts DO NOT HAVE TO LOOK DIRTY to fail to carry the load. I prefer to use a little "Contact cleaner and lube" spray (Radio Shack), but it may not be necessary. Just pull the fuse straight out and back in 2 or 3 times and see if that makes a difference. (Hint- that is the 1ST THING you should do when you have electrical gremlins, unless you LIKE chasing your tail) Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
