"Courtesy Lamps" shorting to the windshield header. That's "dome lamps" in American.

I've had problems with those before, blowing fuse 12...

Hopefully I've repositioned the connectors/wiring enough to avoid these problems in the future. For now I'm back down to 16mA or whatever for key-off load.

Is it just me or do the 5w & 10w interior bulbs fail at a high rate. Seems like I'm always finding another one that is out. This time it was passenger footwell.

FWIW there is a connector - X18 - that supposedly goes to the rear lights/trunk light/antenna etc. The service manual graphics are SO BAD I'm still wondering where it is. All I know is "behind glove box...X18 (above)"...

Thanks again for the help,

Dave
