Well, the VIN is Higher, so I will check #3. Replacing the other higher
fuse brought the AC back.
I am curious, though, since the Lighter is working, so I guess I will
check it to be sure, and then start tracing wires. Got to find the red
wire that is the + for the Central Locking Circuit. Maybe it needs to be
replaced.

Thanks Again,
Matt
