BenzMatic,

Thank you so much for the help!! Sure enough, the strip fuse is the problem. I never realized that there was an additional fuse in the circuit.

I'm hoping that the fuse is the whole problem and not just a symptom. The break looks more like a fatigue break rather than burning as there is no discoloration on the metal nor any decrease in width which is what I'm used to seeing on burnt fuses.

I'm going to stop by the dealer for a replacement tomorrow and then cross my fingers after I install it.
