It's short for VA-ROOM, that's the 20 hp fuse to light up the APC stickers.

Nah, I'm just being a smart *** at 5:43/a. It's the interior fuse.

The 7.5A ROOM fuse provides constant battery power to the ECU, clock, stereo, interior lights and alarm.

If NZ would have had more time, he would have told you to purchase some more fuses of the same rating, then disconnect everything you can from the above list of items so graciously given, and reinsert a good fuse...

Still blows? Then it's either wiring, or something you haven't disconnected yet.

Doesn't blow? Start reconnecting things until it does blow- there's your bad boy. Fix or repair as needed

so is that all i should disconnect? is there more?
ECU, CLOCK, STEREO, Interior Lights, Alarm.
i dont think i have an alarm. so scratch that.
what do you mean by interior lights? just the DOME Light by the Rear View Mirror right?
and juss disconnect the harness from the ECU, and Stereo and clock and stuff?
