Smile Re: interior light short

Okay, let's start with the basics; this problem HAS to be driving (no pun intended) you nuts already. . . When you pop in a new fuse, idoes it blow instantly? If not, does activating some portion of the lighting circuit cause the fuse to blow? --Headlights, door switch closing, etc. If the fuse blows instantly, if you place a multi-meter on the shorted side (not the power side, or you get to buy new fuses for your multi-meter!) of the fuse holder (--just to play it safe and avoid measuring the wrong test point, make sure the fuse is removed, too!) what kind of resistance reading are you seeing? --This is to check for a dead short (0 ohms) as opposed to low resistance. Okay. . . it's time to play twenty quetions now: What work has been done on the vehicle lately? When did you first notice the problem? Was it intermittent, or did it occur and never go away? If it did appear and take up residence, what were you doing when you first noticed it? Report back and we'll continue!

--No problems, just solutions awaiting discovery! CC
