I just bought a 98 Ford Contour. And license plate light, Power Mirrors, interior dome lights and radio do not it work. Was wondering if you could possibly be a fuse hopefully. I thought the license plate light would need to be replaced, so I replace the bulb and it was not that. What could be that the radio, mirrors and license plate lights dont work?

R1 is for daytime running lights if you have them. Passenger compt fuse box is under dash on drivers side.

No because the wiring nor switches are there. Scan for codes and check fuel pressure as well
