>>Just check the fuse panel located above drivers side kick panel and replace the blown fuse, no biggie.<<

At first thats what I figured...easy. But somehow I missed that fuse F34 being blown...so when I looked at the Haynes it shows F34 for the lights...but F36 and F32 as the radio fuses...and those were fine. THats when I got worried.
I didnt get to check the radio tonight...to darn cold and dark out there..:)
