Default Interior Light/Battery

It all started when the interior light wouldnt turn off. It ran the battery flat. So I took the light out but the battery wont last any longer than 24hr unused.

If the interior light wont turn off that would mean a voltage leak somewhere.

Try pull a few non essential fuses out and see what fuse is causing the problem, then work out what that fuses controls.

Trouble shooting sux.

Battery is nearly new.

Its the CLK CRT LP fuse that is causing the problems. What should I do next?

stands for clock / courtesy lamp.

check all the courtesy light buttons in the doors to make sure they arent sticking / shorting.
other than that, if you cant find the problem it would be time to see an auto elec
