Hi Baja Welcome!

I forgot the link...i think it was posted on this bd. Maybe a search or someone that knows will direct you. There is a site for that.

Also as i recall someone posted here about similiar problems. In their case i believe it was water leaking in and somehow got into the fuse panel/wiring or? Other times just a bad fuse, but didnt blow after replaceing it. I think a short causes it to keep blowing. That can be a real headache to find.

That may not be your problem? The fuse that always gets damaged "blown"? Whats that fuse for...or is that what your trying to find out because you dont have the manual? I assume thats the one thats causing the power loss?

The tech. says $250 plus parts? What parts? I guess that means hes confident he can find and fix it for price he quoted?

Good luck...OT

Water leaks in , either A pillar, or windshield seal, or wherever. Big problem is water gets into GEM module, and main fuse panel/relay panel under dash, causing all sorts of electrical problems.
Problems from things not working, to fuses blowing, to things staying on all the time.
Replaced lots of gem's and panels for that concern, AFTER the water leaks were taken care of.
Don't know how anyone can quote exact prices, unless they work both sides of the parts/service counter.......who knows.

Good luck. Have fun.
