    I think I've got some wires crossed for my interior wiring...I'm constantly blowing the 20A Dome fuse. It seems that my stereo, Rear Defrost, Rear brake lights, Fog Lights, Dome lights, Dash lights and Cigarette lighter are all part of the same circuit. is that correct? I have my fogs on at all time my headlights are on, my radio is constantly on. The issue comes when I use the rear Defroster. Should that be on it's own circuit?

    Your 20 AMP dome light fuse is on a independent circuit.

    That circuit has the following pulling power through the 20 AMP fuse:
    Luggage compartment lights
    Door courtesy lights
    Door Warning light on the gauge cluster.
    Ignition key cylinder light
    Interior (dome) light
    Vanity light
    personal light (sunroof map light)
    Integration Relay No. 1 (this relay allows the interior light to be on when the door is open and for 5 seconds after its closed)

    Somewhere you are pulling more power than is acceptable This can also be from a power wire grounding out.

    Your rear defroster is on its own circuit and should be through a relay and on a 30 AMP circuit Breaker not a fuse.

    Hope this helps..
