<VV> blown electric fuses.

[Jim Bannister]

One point to ponder, these circuits work exactly the opposite of each other.
The dome light has 12V applied all the time.  It lights when it gets a
ground either via the door switches or the headlight switch.  The dash
lights ale constantly grounded and get 12V to turn on.  I'd guess a chafe
somewhere these two circuits are getting together with either the 12V side
of the dash lights getting a ground via the door switches.  As long as the
fuse is out, that circuit floats and doesn't go around blowing anything.
My best guess

<snip>Here is the background.  the car is a 66 corsa coupe.  If I have a
fuse 
in the dome light slot everything on that circuit works fine.  If I have a 
fuse in the dash panel light slot, the dash lights work fine.  If I have a
fuse 
in both of them, when the dome light comes on the dash light fuse burns out 
quickly, even when it is a 15 amp and not a 3 amp.  I don't understand how
the 
two could be connected in any way.... Any ideas on what is happening?
