Help me find a fuse!

Ok I need help finding the fuse that controls the rx8's time temp and says rx8, you know the display aboce the hazzard button.

Ive checkd the manual and theres a few different audio ones. Its dark out so im not for sure if its in the car by the driver side pedals or under the hood by the airbox? ive pulled a few fuses but none were blown but one and i replaced it and it just turned back on my interior lights that triped out. this is really pissing me off. is gonna bug me all night!

Hmm, I think that the fuse should be in the microfuse box on the interior of the 8. Maybe it's not a fuse blown?

I think the power for that display comes from the audio unit, which is on a 15A room fuse in the fuse box on the inside of the car.
If your radio works(and you said the CD player is working), and that display doesn't, then it most likely the connection between the audio unit and that display. Did you move your radio at all at anytime when messing around with the metra kit? If so.......that's probably it as that connection is known to not be the best in the world.
