Short in your wiring somewhere, good luck. Start with the int. lights and go from there.

You can ohm it out if you find the wire from the fuse panel.

Here is what I would do... Hook up one wire from the multimeter by the fuse panel to the appropriate wire. Add a longer lead to the negative and electrical tape it so there is no bare wire. Then I would hook up to the wire between the door and the door post. If the ohm I think either reads one or zero (been a while) you have a connection. If not, then there is an issue in between.

This may or may not work depending on how the short is...

If fuse 15 is the problem, I'm trying to find the problem myself right now on my 2002. I'll keep you posted.
