[slow_dsm1]

hi! i know this topic have been repeat over and over again, but i have couple question that i would like to ask. first of all i replace the fuse couple time and every single time, its just keep blown. check the socket and its look perfect, clean, replace a new lightbulb. i pulled the fuse out and used the test light to find the short, and i noticed that its alot of power goes throught that wire, and i don't understand why. so if anybody have the same problem or any idea how to fix that,please lets me know. i would be very appreciated that!
please help my poor dsm!

i had the same problem. check your corner lamps and make sure the wires look good there. also it could be some wiring inside the car. i cant remember the color of the two wires right now but if you look at the corner lamps you will find the colors. they are the same color wires going inside the car to your center consel make sure that none of the wires are damaged.
