The window controls, and the door locks all work normally. Their shorthand for fuse labels is confusing but the 3 amp fuse with mir in its label was good. I did find the label in the top cover of the underhood fuse box was phony as hell, like it was off another year model. There is no way I could turn it so it matched what I was looking at. The interior panel cover did match, and was marked for all the installed options, with all the little punch marks in the 1998 column! In any event I can reach out the window and adjust them, so its not life & death.
And we're way off topic, as was my post that mentioned it. But I shoulda checked for a ground someplace on the switch, and thats something I can do w/o stripping the door panel off again.
