I have ahort problem. My cigarette lighter, power door locks, horn, and interior lights don't work. I have a fuse that keeps blowing everytime I put a new fuse in it. I'm pretty sure something is grounding out where it shouldn't be. Please Please help me.

 

Check to make sure there isnt change in the cigeratte lighter.
That always happens to me. I wind up spending an hour looking and it turns out to be a stupid dime in the lighter.

thanks, i already tried that... no dice.

 

Anyone have any other ideas? I checked the radio connections, the interior light for the trunk and the cigarette lighter and I still have nothing. The only other thing I can think of is maybe it has to do with my power door locks as per suggestion from my dad. Please help I'm in a bind here.

 

There is a 90% chance it is still the cig. lighter. DO you use any cell phone chargers or crap in it?? Try unplugging the cig lighter and then tyr to replace the fuse. Those stupid lighters cause this same problem quite often. If that doesn't help check all the bulb in the interior light system.

 

Yeah tried doing the cigarette lighter thing, and it still did the same thing. So I was figuring on taking the dash apart to look around. Have any other ideas?

 

So i took apart the bottom of my dash and guess what I find but a lose wire so i hooked it back up and it still shorts!!! I'm getting really tired of this whole ordeal. I've spent two weeks trying to find this short and have gotten absolutely no where. I tried the cigarette lighter, and basically just completely disconnected the thing. Then I tried my trunk lid light because I remebered that it stayed on after I shut the hood so I turned it off. I disconnected that. Took my ceiling light apart still Zapp shorts out. So now I have come to the conclusion that it's hiding under the dash somewhere, the horn, the power door locks or somewhere in my panels hiding. So now I get to take everything apart, and I mean everything. Which really annoys me to no end because I have messed up one of my panels already trying to get it apart. This is becoming one Heck of a nightmare. I'm on the verge of just paying to have the damn thing fixed.
Someone please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Found it... It was the power antenna. Isn't that about a B!@CH...
