    Default Courtesy light fuse blowing

    My '84 svo is blowing the fuse for the courtesy lights. I removed all three bulbs and with both doors closed I tried a fuse and it blew as soon as it made contact. Next I removed the door jamb switch and the fuse was ok. I havent had anything apart or done any work to the car recently either. Could it be a bad switch in the door jamb or should I be looking for a bigger problem maybe? I looked at the wiring diagram and the courtesy light wiring is pretty straight forward. There isnt anything to complicated to it.

    Door closed turn headlight switch to courtesy and see if it blows. If not you know it's the door switch.
