This manual is page numbered consecutively, not with the proper "dash" page numbering, so you'll have to play with page numbers
The fuse list is about page 347 (8-126)
Notice that the tail fuse also feeds the cigar lighter
About 382 (8-161) shows fuse panel wiring diagram
Make certain the instrument fuse is the proper rating, as the tail circuit feeds the dash lamp dimmer through the light switch, then goes back to the inst. fuse.
You can separate the rear harness (lights) at the connector in the left kick panel. This might tell you if there is a short in the rear harness.
You MAY have more than one problem, IE the fuse problem may not have anything to do with the indicators lighting up.
