door light stuck on , on idiot light

this is odd my door light stays on.. even when the doors are closed.
the 7.5 amp fuse is blown. i put 2 in and it still doesn't work... both are blown. now im beging to think that its something else.. what could it be? the interior light that comes on inside doesn't come on and same with the push button light... any ideas ? and the beeping sound that it supposed to make when you have key in the ign... thats gone but its faded out i can bearly hear it.

Make sure you door contact switches are working. Also, if you are putting fuses in and they are blowing then you have a short somewhere on that circuit. You are going to have to trace the wiring down and looks for chaffed wires, etc.

Blowing fuses is not related to something needing re-soldering unless you re-soldered it first and now it blows fuses.

So step away from the soldering iron.

You probably have a pinched wire. What other work did you do recently? Add any equipment??? Change anything? drop down the mirror assembly?
