Overhead trip computer quit working

My 04's Trip computer just decided to quit last night going down the road. As far as I can tell its the only thing that quit working. Ive tried pushing the buttons and nothing worked. Its not on dim as I've thought about that. Any help please
I've done a search and results where for an 03. As luck would have it 03s fuse box is labeled different than the 04s. Anyway I've pulled all of the mini fuses in the fusebox and all are good. Ive tried to pull the outer edge of the console down to look at the wires but it wont come loose. Is the console put in different than 03s also?
Thanks Guys

Thanks bpounds. I don't know why my search didn't pull up that thread. That thread like the other 3 is talking about a different overhead than mine. Mine doesn't have a console in it. I'm goint to try the apply the removeable to it though.
Does anybody know if the fuserelay boxes under the hood have a relay for the trip computer? How do you check if their good? Can I just use them w/ a volt meter like checking a bussfuss?
