Another strange electrical problem thread...

The other day i was working in my trunk and my trunk lights turned off. I figured the lights were just on too long and they automatically shut off.

Now my remote only works while the key is in the ignition and my door locks work this way as well. (ie I have to have the car on to lock or unlock the doors or open the trunk)

My open door light is weakly illuminated with the doors closed and the interior lights don't work at all. if I try to turn the interior lights on the door light becomes fully illuminated.

I checked the only fuses i thought could cause this problem and i checked th bulbs to see if they were causing a short..

Anyone have any ideas? thanks.

Update: I found out the cause of the open door light, but that still doesn't fix my other problems. I replaced the fuse for my lights and it still doesn't work.

After replacing the fuses twice everything works.

Reading the fsm also gave me a better perspective of which fuse it was but i dont remember since it was 3am when i retried.
