Need Help!!!!
Ok, so i just purchased a Black 05' RX-8 with 15,000 miles I'm guesing its the sport Package: cloth seats,xenon headlights, 6 speed manual trans. etc. Well needless to say I'am TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR 
, i love everything about it, i googled Rx-8 forums and and i ran across this one. I have read some threads and we all all have the same admirations for this car. Well to cut to the chase i stumbled on a lil problem..... i have had this car for almost 5 days and yesterday as i was about to turn the car on i noticed that the lights inside did not come on, i turned the car on the Stereo didnt function nor did any of the controls on stereo console. Everything else worked and i also noticed tat the check engine light came on. I immediately checked the fuses on the lower left corner on the driver side and i decided to replace all the fuses from the top down. All the fuses were the correct ones. So as i got to the last one which reads "room" 15 i replaced it with a new fuse, and the stereo came back to life along with all ceiling lights and the sun visor lights and the check engine light was no longer lit. Not even a day later the fuse goes out on me again....WTF!!?? this is the second fuse i have replaced, what could it be?? All suggestions would be helpful. I would rather ask than to F' up the car myself.
And yes the car still has warranty.

If it is still under warratny, I advise you to take it in. At most it'll just cost you some time. Versus, playing with it and frying something. My car is under warranty and I have no reservatios about taking it in and claiming work. That is what it is for, no? The only thing is some dealers are lazy and need "encouragement" to work.
Good luck.
