    Changing Fuse

    I know this might sound stupid, but here goes. Just bought a 1989 Regal Sebring 195 Open Bow. The horn doesn't work and I wanted to check/change the fuse. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to open the spot for the fuse. Right by horn switch (and several others, like the blower...
