look at fuse box behind drivers seat, as well as under dash in front of drivers seat,,all top lights,and mood lights behind drivers seat, small door on side of van apx 2 feet back of drivers seat
Hey there, Sounds like you may have a bad switch at the door or in the dash on-off switch. You could also remove the light bulb for a quickie, otherwise the interior light fuse should be in the fuse box: The older vehicles it was under the left side of the dash at the drivers seat (interior of car). Newer vehicles, it would be (typically) in the engine compartment near the drivers side fender wall. Best regards Ck
The JB fuse under the hood is the power supply for the fuse box inside of the vehicle, if the battery drain goes away when JB fuse is removed is only because you have isolated the interior from the rest of the vehicle. These vehicles have issues with the body harness connector on the drivers side floor. To access the connector remove the rear seat and pull back the carpet, the connector is located directly below the drivers side rear seat bottom. Unscrew the 10mm bolt that holds the connector halves together and inspect for corrosion. If corrosion is present, repair as needed and your battery drain should go away.
If you can locate the fuse for the power seats, take it out. Just be sure that the same fuse doesn't go to other accessories also. Or you can look underneath the drivers seat and locate the electrical connector on the motor and disconnect it.
There are 2 fuse boxes, they are called Bussed Electrical Centers.
The front Bussed Electrical
Center (This is one fuse box) is located in
the front of the engine
compartment on the
passenger’s side. Lift the
cover to gain access
Rear Underseat Bussed Electrical Center (BEC)
The rear BEC is located
beneath the rear seat on the
driver’s side. The rear seat
cushion must be removed to
access the BEC. See
“Removing the Rear Seat
Cushion” in the Index.
They usually have a circuit breaker, which is also in your fuse box, but you are probably wiser to find the plug-in for your seat, because fuses and breakers often control more than one thing. Trace the wires back from your seat until you find a connection, and unplug it.
Big problem with these cars is the electrical connector behind the driver seat on the floor. Son of a gun to open use a small screw driver and be careful. They must closetightly and hold. 90% of time the terminals are loaded with corrosion. Remove battery power from the vehicle and either clean them or replace them. If that doesn't work pull seat cushions out and test the switch. Use shop manual for this
simple test. Either check the switch for resistance or remove the switch from the electrical connectors and jump the terminals with a jumper wire to see if you get the seat motor to move. If it does you need a new switch if it doesn't you need a new motor. Shop manual may have another way to test this with the switch in place. Here you are measuing for continuity.
This is fun stuff . good luck &keep me posted
