Well, I have almost everything working. I didn't cut any wires and #1 fuse no longer blows!
What did I do? I wish I knew!
I dismantled the cluster, the centre console and I already had the lower dash panels out. There was one blue wire from aftermarket radio that went to antenna switch (which i don't use) I removed that. But radio is not on fuse #1, so that could not have solved problem. Otherwise, I tidied up some wires, checked that there was no direct short at fuse holder, used new brass fuse and voila, it works.
One thing does not work - that is front courtesy light. It works manually, but not automatically. Back courtesy light does work when doors are opened.
The car at one time had an aftermarket alarm system. It could be activated/deactivated using a remote via the radio antenna! There are a some black wires that come from the door switches but go nowhere and appear to be broken. I have just coiled them up. Perhaps they were part of that system?
There are also two black wires that appear to come from high up far right hand side of dash above the EGR computer (Middle thumbnail below). They also go nowhere. Also now coiled up. Any ideas what those may be?
I can live without the front courtesy lights, so maybe that is it for now!
