Ha ha yeah it is easy lol =P speaking of broken things though, You guys know the symbols next to the shifter on automatic cars? well these ones? (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e57/DannyEscondio/AutoShiftBox3.jpg)

Well min is exactly the same except in this pic it's right side drive, other than that mine looks exactly the same. well anyways when the lights are on those numbers and letters are supposed to be lit up well mine don't light up ant they are supposed to I checked by ripping the housing around the shifter up and fount wires going to the letters and numbers and such but it looks perfectly fine I'm stumped here. I don't know where the wires lead to so I can't figure this out. My horn also doesn't work and the Air conditioner/heater controls like where the switches are not the buttons don't work either. does anyone know how I can figure this out? and Yes I checked the fuse boxes yes boxes I have more than one on mine under the dash and under the hood and none of the fuses look blown so idk what to do guys. =/ I really don't want to splice into different wires if I don't need to just to get the lights to work. So any help at all will be greatly appreciated thanks.

You're gonna have to dig up under your shifter and look for the light unless it doesn't have one like mine. Also A/C might be a bad circuit board if its the switches. The horn is probably just a bad ground. Take apart your steering wheel and check the wires with a multimeter.

Well I fixed the light for the shifter it was just a burnt light and I don't have a multimeter (yet) I have to get one soon for school I've ripped through the dash and found that the horn goes to the alarm system unless that's only for the alarm system  then idk where the horn is it's not in visible sight that's for sure lol. but I'll dig into it tomorrow morning when I have plenty of light and plenty of time.  :P

Well if it goes through the alarm like mine it shouldn't matter. I had my alarm out forever and it worked fine. It might possibly be in one of the front quarter panels or under your battery holder.

yeah the one I found that went to the alarm system was only for the alarm system. I found the actual horn which is right next to where the right fog light should be. The horn has wires connected but I cant trace them anywhere because I cant see where the wires go unless I rip the bumper off lol I'm guessing it's a wiring problem in the steering wheel or something. idk yet.
