The fuse at #2 on the under dash module controls: the Instrument cluster illumination, license plate lamp, parking lamps, side marker lamps, tail lamps, (radio, climate control illumination). There's a fuse/relay labeled BTN # 4 in the under hood module, it is a the "Back to Normal" fuse. What this fuse does is resets the ECU (electronic control unit)... when you put the fuse in the BTN slot, it completes the circuit to reset the ECU.. when you remove it.. it's reset. This is not a fuse that should be left in.. only use it to reset your ECU if you're having problems.

I hope this is helpful to you!
