fuse 26 powers:
battery saver relay
electronic shift relay
interior lamp relay
electronic shift control module
instrument illumination dimming module
interior/map lamp
gem
instrument cluster

procedure would be to unplug/disconnect as many of those as possible then put a fuse back in.
if you're good with a meter check the resistance first.
