[DML] Electrical Problem : Door Lights, Acc Fuse 10 Amp

["Robert Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was doing a little wire work on my car Saturday, first I did the
conversion to make the side markers blink with the indicators.
A simple operation of connecting the black ground wire from the marker
light to the green & red wire of the indicator.
I tested it and it worked.
I mention that I did this because I do not know if it is related to my
problem.

After doing this I noticed that my door lights were not working.
(I had both doors open, and have converted the #194 bulbs with LED 
replacements, so you can leave the doors open all day without using
much power)
I tried wiggling the switch on the drivers side since we all know
these can stick every once in a while.....and the weirdest thing happened!
It seemed like the polarity was reversed!
Because when I pushed the switch IN, the lights came ON!
I pushed it in and out a few times, and then the lights went off all
together.
I checked the fuse, a 10 AMP and it was blown so I replaced it.
It immediately popped.

I was checking the manual and it mentioned some DIODES that are in
place to prevent electrical back flow.
Does anyone know WHERE these are because it doesn't say!
Is there a relay or a module that controls this?

Has anyone ever had this problem?

Thanks.
