ok, so i'm blowing fuses left and right, and i don't know where the short is. i unplugged the radio, thinking it might be the problem.i sat there with the car running and "pop" the fuse blew with no radio in it, and the dome light on. so i undid the dome light, and plugged back in the radio and was good for about an hour, but i turned the car off, and when i turned it back on, it blew. i've looked all over for a short, but i can't find it. i may have to take apart the top left of the roof, and that column piece on the drivers side windshield, whatever its called. its a pain because the fuel door release is on this same circuit, so i keep having to pop the trunk at the gas station and pull the manual cord. it sucks.

any ideas???

You know your taillights are on the that same circuit too. So if that fuse blows, pow, no taillights. Im betting the short is on your radio constant power wire. It might have rubbed through and is shorting to the bracketry under the dash. Thats usually an orange wire.
Also, make sure you are using the proper amperage fuse, if its too low itll blow on its own.

the fuse on the radio is still good. and the taillights are on, so i dont know what the deal is. its a 15amp fuse for sure. i'm lost. i'll check that wire though...

put a pin in the fuse and that will force the power to keep going through, and where ever the smoke and fire starts, thats where ur short is
