Hi riceandpho,

Thank you. The link you sent is a great way to test for a dead short. However, I don't have a constant dead short which is making this difficult to figure out. I don't know for sure if I am getting a short or drawing too much power. At this point I am leaning toward the latter. I think I have a faulty body ecu or alarm ecu that is causing an overcurrent. I looked at the wiring diagrams and the dome fuse powers interior lighting and the key less entry/alarm module. I was asking about where some plugs are that could isolate the circuit. But, there really aren't any connectors that only have the lighting circuits. For example, the wire bundle that feeds the overhead lighting also feeds the side curtain air bags. I did replace the dome relay and that wasn't the problem. I am going disconnect the alarm module next and see how that goes - again, the problem can occur when the car is sitting and parked. So, I think it is most likely something that happens after the lock button is pressed on the remote - which then triggers the dome monitoring and the timer for all the lighting through the body ECU. I do have an aftermarket stereo but it is hooked up well and was also replaced in the midst of having this problem (for unrelated reasons). All the bulbs are standard. I haven't seen on any diagram where the radio could cause the dome fuse to blow although that seems to come up in some other threads.
