Fuse blows as soon as installed. Would like to know what is powered through this fuse in order to look for short
These are on fuse #2

right and left lighted vanity mirrors in the visors check at the hinge you can pull the wires out far enough to unplug them. Then install fuse if it doesn't blow plug them in 1 at a time
depending on exact model the dome and rear light may also be on this fuse. I hope this helps. Take care.

Took it to the shop. The side marker lights were missing on my son's car. The wiring loops from the side marker lights to the tail lights. As the wires were touching in the front, they shorted out the tail lights. Capped the wires, problem solved!
PS: ordered side marker lights, too.

chances are the the solenoid that controls the 4- wheel drive is either faulty and causing a short or the wire harness leading to it has a short. the solenoid is a dealer only itm and should be checked by a certified mechanic.. please rate this

after you replace the fuse try closing the door and put the key in and turn it back and forth locking and unlocking it and see what happens when you use the power lock

by process of elimination!
one door at a time so disconnect 3 & keep changing the active one till you find which one isnt working
then test its circuits ok

Disconnect as many of the door switch wiring plugs, and wiring plugs for the seats that you can. Then, drop in a fuse. If it blows, you probably have a wiring issue, not a switch issue. If it doesn't blow immediately, reconnect the doors, and seats one at a time till the fuse does blow. Once it does, you've isolated your problem to a smaller area, and can replace / rewire that component.
If you've disconnected everything, and the fuse still blows, you probably have a wiring issue that will need to be traced. You will need a multimeter that can read ohms. You'll need to isolate different parts of the circuit (probably by unplugging and or cutting a wire in that circuit unfortunately) then use the multimeter to test the ohms from that part of the circuit to NON voltage side of the fuse holder. (If you try to test ohms on a hot circuit you will likely fry your multimeter!). If the meter reads low ohms, there is your short. High ohms (infinity) means there is no circuit, and there is no short. When you hit on something of low ohms, you've isolated the problem to a smaller area, and can keep tracing that wiring back to the fuse box to find your short.
Good Luck.
