Default so, this open door issue I've been having is getting out of control ....

so I have this problem (I have lots of them, this one is car related). If I make make a hard right turn, the dome lights will flicker on a little, but just sometimes. This has been going on for about 2 months now. It now seems to be getting worse. If the dome lights stay on (ie a hard long right turn) it now blows the fuse. Blue row, number 3 I think. Fuse is for puddle lights, visor mirror lights, alarm, trunk pop switch and driver's presets. The strange thing is that after the fuse blows, the dome lights STILL come on with a hard right turn and the display show ALL the doors open except the rear pass.

So I'm thinking that this is a bad/faulty door switch in the rear pass, but I've never heard of these things shorting out like this. I thought they just stopped working or do the "disco light" thing. Strange.

Sorry for the rant, but any advice is welcome on this! Thanks again everyone!

Sounds like a broken wire by the door, short to ground.
