Default horn doesnt work, light by shifter also

Hello,

I am wondering which fuses allow these to operate (horn and light by shifter ).

I replaced the burnt out bulb butI think I blew the fuse when I was trying to get the bulb out. I was using an awl because at first the bulb wouldnt budge.

I checked all the fuses and found 2 of the 7.5 ones burnt out. I replaced them with Buss fuses which are slightly longer than the stock Camry ones and the horn and shifter light are still inoperable. Do I need to put stock size fuses in?

Is there a place on the internet or this forum that has diagrams of the fuse boxes along with the purpose of each fuse? That would be cool to have a reference like that.

Thank you so much in advance.

What year of car?

Horn may have a 10A fuse.

Dome may be located in the same fuse box.

Use a voltmeter to determine if the Dome light is receiving 12v power. The dome switch works by grounding the return leg of the power, not turning on the 12v power.

It's a 2007 Camry LE. The blown 7.5 amp fuses are located in spots labeled PANEL & H - LP LVL. All other fuses are OK.

Horn controlled by horn relay and powered by a 10A Horn fuse.

Automatic trans shifter lever light powered by 7.5A Panel fuse.

The security horn is powered by 7.5A S-Horn fuse.

H-LP LVL maybe the headlight leveling system.

Have you looked in the owners manual for what specific fuses do? If no help see link below. May not be for exact same model or year but might help.
