    I got my annual state inspection on the car today (Massachusetts) and I almost failed due to the license plate light not working. This was an easy fix as I had the toolkit (with a new fuse) and the manual in the car to find out where the fuse was.

    This got me thinking though, is there an easy way to check to see if there are any other blown fuses on the car or do I have to look at each one individually?

    Yes. As long as you realize that each fuse will still have to be taken out of the panel individually to be checked.

    Here's one for you.
    I've been driving my car since April came around incl 2 long trips.
    I am always watching the oil and water temp gauges. Never saw a problem.

    Two weeks ago I decided to replace the alarm unit (with the GM version).
    After I removed the luggage compartment cover around the fuses the 30A or green coloured LH Rad fuse was found blown. For how long? Don't know. I then thought that the fan might have frozen but it was loose and when the temp got up it ran. It runs everytime it is called to run.

    So yes, check your fuses when you have the time.
