I posted eailer about the radio goen out and all the dash light, now my 8 has cross the line! I went to for a drive, and the keyless entry wouldn't work. So I opened the door with the key, thinking "this is odd...". The alarm didn't go off or anything. I put the key in the ignition and the alarm goes off, but the engine starts. My trip odometers are both reset and now I have a CEL!!
I checked the fuses and only the "Room" fuse is blown, but I didn't have a spare 15a fuse so I can't replace it. But my trunk light is out, my interoir lights, and I can't disarm the freakin alarm! My pwr door locks are gone (but the fuse is still good). I pulled the horn fuse so when the alarm was going off it wasn't so annoying. The alarm eventually stops flashing the hazards, after like 2 min, and I can drive. I am at a total and utter loose. I made an appointment with the nearest dealership for first thing monday morning, but I can't wait till then. Plus, it better be a warrantee issue or I'm screwed!!!!
I'll try to get a replacement 15a fuse and go from there.

Yeah I just got it, used! from a Ford Dealership on the first of January.
But I have good news- replaced the room fuse and now everything works! Wow, that's a lot of stuff controled by just one fuse.
But my radios stil out -wha-

Wow Chicken, that sounds like a strange and crazy nightmare. I hate annoyances like that. I hope you get everything to work out.

Double check the rest of your fuses again since your radio is still out. I noticed awhile ago when I was installing some interior lights that a lot of things are linked to certain fuses, whether they say it in the manual or not. rather shitty way of doing things imo. (it is possible other cars are like this, I have limited experience, but the ones I have played with weren't like this.)
