The lights on the shifter indicating which gear I'm in don't work

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

That is pretty crazy. It would be cheaper to get an auto electrician for an hour than to keep buying alternators. If a fuse melts, you have to find the reason why before replacing it. Jimmy rigging electrics just passes the problem along to another component. A Professional Grade Scan tool computer can diagnose in 20 minutes. They cost $3.5k to $5k!

Probably the bulb for the indicator. There is no I separate fuse.

the only way you can do this is if you can identify the gear ratios from both cars with the transmission codes found on the strut tower plate.
see this list to check for matches, read it carefully its a ton of info

Looks like you'll be looking for fuse #'s 5, 16, and 18. Here is a couple of diagrams to make it a little easier.

5 SPD? If so clutch could be gone and it's not engaging the ignition. That's option 1

the light has two screws just unbolt them and pull the light straight out to get acces to the bulb

try disconnecting the + positive terminal for a few minutes and see if it goes out most likely the 02 sensor needs replacing ...however low fluid levels may also contribute to this oil,brake fluid etc.

yes it's most likely a alternator problem,usually the internal diode bridge breaks causing all lights you mentioned to come on,if this happens at a idle open the hood and remove green connector on alt.if lights go out you've found the problem

Check the switch plunger. If it is broken and does not depress when the door is closed, it will continue to act like it's open. Replace the switch if broken or faulty.
