Has any body tried pulling fuses, then replacing one at a time.  At least you might get a path to follow

I have done it.  I just went 1 row at a time.  It helps if you have someone watching the meter.

The map lights?  Good idea.  Also, the ajar switches could be bad.

Yeah, when you're in the car with 1 foot hanging out, you don't think about the dome lights.  That individual had rolled the dimmer wheel on the light switch all the way up and locked on the center light.  He had disconnected the battery cable to keep the battery from draining.  He just happened to hook it back late in the evening and saw the dome light come on.  There was more than one light bulb that lighted at that instant.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Once I saw an engine running at night, and it was like a light show.  Lots of electrical leaks.
