The circuit fused by my hazard fuse is now shorted - Has been since I bought the car. The interior lights, ignition light, cigarette lighter and clock are all on this circuit and I'm lost. I've pulled every component out in a hope to isolate the shorted component. The cigarette lighter, storage bin lights, door switches, dome light, map light and rear hatch light have all been removed and I still got 12 volts across the blown fuse. The circuit was still grounded with everything but the clock and ignition light removed (hard as hell to get to). Is there a common spot that shorts or do the clocks ground the memory circuit, or am I SOL trying to find this? What should be the next step?

Has anyone had this same circuit short or had their clock short the memory circuit to ground?
