Default Electrical problems

I noticed a few things that don't work. My door chime, my glove box light, and my outside temp sensor. All of my fuses are good and in the correct spots (according to my manual and fuse box cover) and the bulb for the glove box does look ok. these problems aren't connected at the fuse panel so WTF? Could I have smoked a relay or sumthin'?TIA

Default Oh yeah...

I was looking at the Bentley, and it looks like there might be a bulb behind the area where the temp display is.. Worth a shot..

Bulbs burn out, it's normal. Might be worth a try to put a new bulb in there just to see. Same for the glove box. As for the door chime, does it work with any doors, or with the headlights on?

Default I don't if the instument cluster is the same as my '95 90, but that bulb for the outside temp.

display wasn't an easy fix. On my 90, it was actually part of the board and not one of those 1/4 turn lights. I got a bulb from Radio Shack and put it in its place.

Default Might be the same here, the Bentley makes no mention of the bulb, but it's there in the diagram..

maybe it was drawn in but in reality is not there... I'll have to pop mine out later just to have a look see..
