Ok, i hope im putting this in the right section, but oh well...My car was doing fine when i went to the parts store today, I replaced the plugs and adjusted my wastegate..Here is the problem...when i got in the car and got going down the street, my interior lights were not working..I checked the fuse(#15) and it was blown, i replaced it and it just keeps blowing them immediately..Now the car is sitting in the garrage with all the parking lights out of it, and I am running out of places to look..I do have a aftermarket radio, but i took it completely out, and left the stock harness there...I'm lost, can someone help me please..Thanks in advance guys!! -Ryan-

shit..this same type of thing happened to me the other day with my hazard/turning signal lights (i also posted a thread in this section today).

I replace it and it just keeps blowing as soon as i hit either the signal or hazard button..i think it's a short, checking ohms later on.

If I get an answer i'll let you know.

Thanks...My headlights, fogs, brake lights, hazards, and turn signals all work...The interior lights and the parking lights are my problem..lol

interior and parking lights are all tied to the radio fuse, if i remember correctly. You probably have a short to ground somewhere in the line, the hard part is finding it.

Your have a orange lumination wire from under the dash. Check and make your that it's not touching metal, under the dash, that is where the problem lies, and I'm no electrical wiz!! Go check it, and stop it from shortn out by groundN. Holla back and tell me how smart I am, I am God, hear me roar!!!

was it that wire or what?

Well, after further testing, we came up with a black wire with a yellow stripe...It was grounding out between the switch and the actual lights..So we disconnected conector 105 and found the problem lied in the back seat...So i pulled the back seat out and found that when i did my speaker install on the rear ones, when the seat got put back in, it grounded out the black wire w/ the yellow stripe..Long explianation, but i was working on it for 2 days and im happy it is fixed...Thanks for all the suggestions...
