My door open light is on intermittenly where the interior light stays on for a while but heres the real problem, every once in a while a fuses blows where i lose my power windows/interior light/radio/intrument cluster. So when i go to replace fuse which is a 10a and controls the intrument cluster,interior lamps it blows immediately. Any help???????

 

What is the fuse number that are you replacing ?

 

35 which is intrument cluster and interior lamps

 

whats weird is i took the whole fuse box out and checked all plugs in back and grounds that i could find. i found one bad ground to the remote start but it still did it after that, but heres the weird part.....i shut the door and i put the fuse in without it blowing

 

I would check the door switch itself, and if the switch is ok then check the wiring forward of the switch to the light, my suspicion is if the fuse blows only when the door is open the switch is a normally open switch so when the door closes the contacts go from open to close and then shorts out you may need to check with a continuity meter.

 

What year is the truck?

 

Hi Guys,Been awile since I posted,but here is the strange thing.My 02 f150 just started to do the same thing today.I took it out to get it washed and everything worked until I brought home and went to park it in my garage for the winter.I noticed my power windows were not working.Found a blown fuse and replaced it only to wash it blow right away.Closed the doors and tried again,PHOOF again.This has affected my interior lites and power windows. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or maybe an idea of what might be causing this?
