I've got a 95 740iL w/ an electrical problem. My digital display odometer has disappeared. I continually get messages about brake lights or tag lights, but lights are OK. Any ideas?

Now I've lost the low beam (bulb is fine) and a rear park light (also fine). My owners manual says check fues #46 and #66. Problem is my fuse box (under the hood) has only 47 fuses. Is there another fuse box? The manual only shows one. There is a sealed box next to the battery (trunk). Any help appreciated.

There is another (rear) fuse and relay box above the battery in the trunk behind the carpet covering.

Shogun,

I looked at the box in the rear battery compartment. It is an electrical bus, not a fuse box. I'm at a standstill. Help.:(
