I don't think there are any short circuit... as if i keep the light in the position,, it's still on all time,, just can't not turn it off

Cheers

Sorry, by short circuit I didnt mean a dead short circuit that would cause the fuse to instantly blow. A short circuit can also be a wire touching somewhere that it should not and bypassing part of the normal circuit. I would start by checking the switches in the doors. Take each one out (I think it is just one or two screws) and see if the light turns off. Use a multimeter to test the switch. I would firstly check the switch in the drivers door, most likely. Otherwise its going to be the headlight switch faulty, BCM faulty or wiring fault.

Nope, only two.

I have the same ussue with my car. It kept blowing 10A fuses, and when I put a 15A fuse in instead it flattened the battery. So now I just go without an interior light.

Andrew426: You might want to check for stripped wiring... I had the same problem, it turned out there was a stripped wire shorting to the body. Only my one would burn both 10A & 15A fuses; a 20A (which I was really unsure about trying) did the same as your 15A, flattened the battery.

Also, Since you seem quiet new to this stuff, Make sure the car is on (reds) or the remote has locked the doors (the light stays on for a while if the car is unlocked).

The interior light will ONLY work if the sensor on dashboard is covered if your playing around with them in daylight. If it's not covered they will not work only the other off on button will.
