How are you checking your fuses? If you missed it 4x, I'm guessing you were using a visual check which, as you have discovered, doesn't always work so well. Invest in a multimeter (VOM) or test light. You can find cheap meters for $10-20 or so and a test light ought to be half that. It will save a lot of

s next time.

That's actually how I found it - I used my multimeter. I was too impatient and didn't feel like finding one of my 5 harbor freight multimeters they give away for free.

Chalk that up to laziness!
