Howdy, all.

I spent Saturday working on the LC and had the battery out for several hours. After reinstalling and reconnecting everything, I realized that I had no power to the door locks, windows, and seats. Checked the fuses and indeed, I had blown the 30A "FL Power" fuse. I replaced the fuse and immediately blew it again. Just to rule out a bad fuse, I tried one more $4.00 fuse and yep, it popped again.

I will be reviewing the wiring diagram (not a strong suit for me) but I'm posting this here in case anyone has a quick idea for me to track down. Everything worked fine before I removed the battery. After I reconnected the battery this fuse issue started.

Thanks in advance
 
Tracked it down to a short in the power motor for the passenger seat. Disconnected the seat and the fuse holds. At least now I have windows and locks again.

Next project will be to track down the short in that wiring harness...
