we have a 2000 dodge avenger. The running lights (when you click your light thing one up,. not sure if they are called running lights) wont come on so my husband asked me to check the fuse. of course we dont have a fuse box diagram and even if we did, i have no clue what i would be looking for...any ideas? hes in afghanistan right now so he cant really help me. thanks!!

I would have taken a photo but the lettering doesnt show up well. Also I do not know which orientation this is so look at the current rating and see if the fuses go across or up and down. Hope this helps.

Also you might want to check the fuse box under the hood as well. It is located around the battery if I remember correctly
