Ok my g/f has a 98 cavalier and when she went to work she forgot to take out her iPod charger out of the cigartte lighter adapter. When she came back everything was fine except for her panel lights on her guages and her a/c and heating control lights they wouldn't turn on with the lights. I checked the bulbs and they were all fine and i also checked the fuse box. There i saw that a INT 10AMP fuse was blown (I'm assuming that this is the fuse for the panel lights). So i put in a new one and when i turned on the lights it blew the fuse out again. So this means that there is a short somewhere and i have no idea where to look or how to fix this. Anything i should try before i take it to a mechanic? THANKS FOR THE INPUT!!! MIKE
