There are 2 fuse panels in almost every vehicle, one inside and one out in the engine compartment so check them both. Then there are small square boxes with clear tops usually in the engine compartment panel and these are fuseable links ( basicly fuses ) check them as well. I suspect that the fuse indicator light is turning on because it's circuit has detected a HIGH RESISTANCE SHORT which has developed on one of the circuits it monitors. A hi rez short draws more than normal current but does not normally draw enough current to trip a fuse, but eventually will, as the defect will progressively degrade. HI rez shorts are very diffult to track down, and requires a well qualified automotive electronic technician to track it down. j3h.
