I have the car listed above convertible and the map lights (the lights in the rear view mirror) are not working. I replaced the bulbs, still nothing. I looked for a fuse but could not find one for it in the fuse boxes under the hood and under the dash. Anyone know what might be the problem?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

In the vehicle, locate the fuse panel. Locate fuse number 13. That is the fuse that powers the map/left and right dome lamps.

I attached two pictures. The first is the fuse panel, which is located behind the dash on the driver's side. The second is part of a wiring schematic. If you follow the pink wire, which is the power supply, you can see it takes you to fuse 13.

Here is a link which discusses how to check and replace a fuse:

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
