"Interesting ride" is an understatement, mountainbiker. I hope it all comes together for you soon. You'll have a lot of driving to do to make up for lost time. Keep us updated here.

DAMN, DAMN, DAMN - my key is stuck again! It has been working fine...until...

It is after midnight here. I just picked up my wife at the airport a little while ago. On the way back from the airport, I switched on my SMA roof lights ... nothing. When I got hope I checked the fuse for the lights, and it had a blown 10A fuse. (This fuse is not in the fuse box. It is an external run and connects right next to the mega fuse.) Not thinking I popped in another one, and it immediately blew. I didn't have any more, so I said I'd just mess with it in the morning. This is when I also noticed the key would no longer come out of the ignition.

Now, thinking about it. I could have sworn there use to be a was a 125A fuse, but I think the HUMMER dealer put a 10A fuse in there after my recent visit to them. It didn't dawn on me at the time, but I do recall them saying they swapped a 125A fuse because it was too large. I think maybe it wasn't?

What fuse are you using for your roof lights? I bet it is more than 10A?

I am thinking my key is stuck again, because I blew something when I put in that 10A fuse. The sun roof and wipers don't operate. I have checked ALL the mini fuses, and they appear okay, but I have to be missing something. Do you have any ideas what I could check to try to get the key out?

OMG, I can't believe this is happening to you again, mountainbiker. I don't have an answer. Your thoughts about the fuse being too small makes sense. I hope one of the tech guys look in soon for your sake. Or, even anyone with marker lights so they can check their fuse. I don't have marker lights .. yet. Otherwise, your wife may have to go on a scenic drive with you back to the dealer. At least you could use your cruise control this time. I really feel badly for you. You must be feeling livid just about now.

Okay, semi-good or almost completely good news. It is morning here, and being able to see better it turned out to be mini fuse #9 (15A). Therefore, if your key sticks, the sun roof doesn't work, and wipers don't -- check this fuse.

The only remaining question I have is what fuse the SMA roof light bar uses. It has a 10A fuse, and I think it should be larger. (You can see this fuse in the picture above. It is the large blade fuse at the top-right not in the fuse box.) I have the question still outstanding with the Texas dealer who installed the bar for me.
