Twice in two days, my radio/horn/interior lights fuse has blown when I put down the right window.
They are not even on the same circuit!
Any ideas?

Do you have speakers or courtesy lights in the door? Could be that when the window goes down it is shorting out the circuit by hitting an exposed wire or contact.

Actually, I think the door lock cylinder for that door came loose and is hanging inside the door. The power locks are also on the curcuit with the radio.
You might be on to something there!
Thanks!

I just had the door lock problem fixed. Tomorrow I'm going to take the Vette to work. We'll see pretty quickly if the fuse is going to blow again or not.
