There a fusebox behind the battery. Well there's actually 3 fuseboxs but the one you need is behind the battery. Find the blow fuse and replace. Happened to me about a year ago. It took 2weeks to find the damn fuse. GL

John, it would be the fuse box behind the battery, you need to take the windshield cowl off to access it.

That's the same fuse that has blown twice on me over the past week. It is correlated with the starter/ignition circuit. I had no other symptoms other than the car doesn't start.
It's labeled "A/T CONT" (I dunno wtf that's supposed to mean).
I do not think that this fuse is the OP's problem, but if I'm wrong, I'll be confused.

It is fuse number 71. The same thing happened to me last week. Replaced fuse 71 and everything worked fine. Fuse 71 is located in the fuse box behind the battery.

Now I wonder if my taillights weren't working as well.
Really weird for those 2 circuits to be the same fuse.

Not to sure why they did that with 3 fuse boxes, but I am sure that is your problem.

This post was so useful! It is indeed the top left fuse behind the battery. I replaced my size 10A mini fuse with a 15. Thanks again guys

Long shot for an answer but...

By any chance do u have any LED bulbs in ur signals? Cause i just put a 10a in my 71 and when i hit the lights blew right away. i'll try 15a tomorrow.
