Cig lighter, car radio?

Interior light may be run by the door latch....

The switch is in the door lock, not the door, so in the wrong place for puddle lights.

Find the lighting wiring.

The fuse is the 3rd fuse from the right, I think on the top row under the steering wheel. It is red- 10amp - mine blows every time my wife opens the vanity mirror on the sun visor. Not worked out how to fix it yet. Other than telling her to stop using the mirror while I'm driving :lol:

I had a similar problem on mine.....turned out to be that one of the screws securing the visor to the roof was pinching the cable (Small gauge twin flex).

There are permanent live's in the fusebox which you can splice into...don't forget to put a fuse link in the puddle lamp live feed.
