        Did that when I took it off.

        Did that too.

        Did that too and the Bentley tells me it's #3 fuse.

        That would be correct IF one of the two previous owners OR the
        Graz assembly plan workers hadn't wired the damned fixture totally
        separate of the interior light circuit...I followed the wires
        and found a connector in the wire loom mess behind the fuse panel
        which has an inline fuse in. Having owned this particular Carat
        for the last 11 years I can vouch for not having messed with that
        light's wiring...

        And it strikes me as odd. Which probably caused you to doubt
        my veracity...
