Hi, I was looking for a drain and saw the glove box switch wasn't functioning properly. When I opened it, I lost the spring in the grass and decided to just remove the bulb. Now my radio and dome lights don't work. I've checked fuses and everything is fine. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you blew fuse #12 in the fuse panel at the right end of the dash.
