I CANT REMEMBER THE # BUT THE FUSE YOU NEED IS INSIDE A FUSE BOX ABOVE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE LEFT. THERE IS A BUTTON YOU WILL PUSH AND B0X DROPS DOWN. ON BOTTOM ROW I THINK DOM LIGHTS ARE BETWEEN 3 AND 6 FUSES FROM END , LOOKING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. GOOD LUCK!

Here is a link to a series of videos which will walk you thru the entire process...

Try a continuity test, not sure where to find the electrical scheme but if you obtain it, use a tester or borrow one to test the continuity of the wires of both taillights, could be simple as a cut wire.

it cant be changed unless the transmission is pulled and then taken in half.ver difficult process.

I just bought the same car recently and my son installed a cd/satellite/radio player into it with no problems. A high-end one that he took out of one of his cars. He's an audio freak that works in a high-performance car accessory shop. The only thing extra he had to install was some kind of wiring adapter to mate it with the existing factory radio harness. It only cost a few bucks. I think about $15.00. And there was no worries about wattage or anything else. Been using the player for about six-weeks now with no problems. If you remind me, I'll ask him about that wiring adapter....

I had a similar problem with my 98 mystique when i bought it used. I had no overdrive and was lucky to find a honest transmission shop that found the problem. In my case the overdrive was unplugged. They plugged it back in,cleared the computer and changed my tranny fluid and i was good to go. You should be revving about 2400rpm at 65mph. The other thing you can check is to make sure that the wires that go from the overdrive button are not broken off or coroded.
