I checked the 3 door switches they all looks OK, but this being intermittent I must have one bad. Question : Which switch can cause the fuse to blow ?:confused:

Remove one monitor switch lead to isolate switch. Check continuity of switch with door open and door closed: Door Closed – Infinite Ohms Door Open – 0 Ohms 3. Reconnect switch wiring. 4. Check fuse (15 or 20 Amp) for continuity and proper size. If needed replace fuse. 15 Amp use WB27X0007. 20 Amp use WB27X3910. 5. Test Circuit Operation: WARNING! When (15 or 20 Amp) fuse is blown due to operation of the monitor switch, the monitor switch must be replaced. Also replace relays and/or interlock switches when continuity check shows contacts shorted.

Just to be sure, is it the switch under the Lever - switch lower ? Or the other one that get actuated directly by the door latch. Would you have the color of the wire by any chance ?
