Question Wow....Just wow.

Ok, so, my car has a few problems (which wankle doesn't?) but overall, it's drivable. My problems are more of the annoying type. I somehow have a short in my wiring, that causes the open door light to come on when I try to turn on my dome light. I say try because the light itself never comes on.
I flip the switch to turn it into the off position, the light goes off, but that clock comes on. When I open my door, the open door, and the open hatch light comes on. As a side note, I'd like to add that every once in a while, when I'm driving my car hard, my e-brake light will come on when I'm switching from 3-4th gear.....Does anyone have any clue as far as where I can start looking to fix these problems with my car?

i didnt think the room fuse would be the culprit. when i blow mines all it does is shuts the lights and stereo off, the beeping of the key in ign. ounds lie it's dying, and the alam goes haywire. i guess it affects the componets differently.

Yeah, I should have edited it, but I was back in MSP when I first answered, and when I am using my handheld, I tend to make my answers real short, and not do a lot of Mod stuff.
