:confused:Hi everyone,
Fuse #14 which controls the interior lights, windows, remote lock and unlock, mirrors... Keeps blowing and I keep replacing. Is this a common problem? Can someone suggest where I might start looking to fix this myself?
Thanks for the input.
ps... just checked and there is no coolant migration...

this is what it meant for me:

insulation had worn off the voltage supply wire from the convenience module to the hatch unlock motor and it was grounding against the frame, blowing the fuse. I'd say check all the wiring boots on the doors and trunk for the same kind of thing, most likely it's the trunk release. unless you can pinpoint it to when the lights are on, then it might be worn insulation on one of the tail or trim lights.
