(while cleaning the contact points of the visor vanity, the damn
thing shorted and burned out both fuses)

According to the fuse box cover:

#23 - Front dome light, infrared remote control,
read head restraints etc. etc. - STATION WAGON ONLY

#27- Dome lights, trunk illumination, central locking,
infrared remote control.

my problem: #27 burned out and #23 burned out as well.

I thought #23 only applies to Station wagons. I'm confused.

Also, why wouldn't the car start up if any of these 2 fuses
are out ?
