Well I did it, shorted the mounting screw to the switch connection on the hall light..... snap there went the fuse, checked the bath lights and they came on for an instant and then off. Checked the fuse (OEM setup) and #4 (15amp blown), replaced and still no power to bath or hall fixture. I checked with a meter and have power across all fuses, looking at fuse assignments on the inside of the door #4 is hall light and #5 is bath. Maybe it was wired to #4? Anyway does anyone have schematics on the inside wiring so I know were to chase the open circuit? I'm redoing the headliner and got the back out and was working on removing the short hall piece when all of this started so should help in tracking down the problem. If anyone has any "great" ideas, I'm all ears now that my face is covered in egg admitting the oops! 2 steps forward, 1 step back.

After reading this before posting I still don't understand why the bath light lit for a fraction of a second with the fuse already blown and it's suppose to be on another circuit/fuse???

Thanks
