Hello everyone. The other day when I was driving, suddenly my head unit, speakers, and interior lights + switches lost their power. Turns out, my F11 10A fuse in the engine bay fuse box popped.
Went to replace it, and once I connected the battery, popped right away. Frustrated me a bit. I got a manual resettable fuse to test so I don’t run through a bunch of fuses. I was slowly diagnosing part by part that’s connected to that fuse. I started with disconnecting my head unit, wasn’t the issue, fuse still popped. Kept it disconnected and then disconnected my driver side door switch, fuse pops. Then, I disconnected my passenger side door switch, and what do you know, the fuse stops popping on the resettable fuse.
The door open icon came on in the car, and also when I would put my key in the ACC and ON position, it would beep again. I put everything back together, and go to put in a regular 10A fuse, and it pops. Makes me confused. When I initially tested and it worked with the resettable fuse, I had the 10A door lock fuse (located under the dash) out of its socket. Maybe door locks are causing it to blow? I’d think I fixed the short, since it WAS working, but maybe there’s more to it.
Also to note: I checked wires behind the fuse box, nothing torn or ripped.
