Rx300 Blowing 7.5 Amp Fuse (Position 44 On Fuse Block)

[meitetsu]

I just purchased a RX300 that keeps blowing 7.5 amp Fuse (position 44 on fuse block).

This is fuse for Radio and HVAC Control button lights as well as the shift selector.

As soon as you replace fuse and turn IG ON it blows immediately.

I see on the internet that several people have had this problem, but never see anyone post any solutions.

I'm sure it's probably a short but not sure exactly where.

Anyone ever had this problem and found the solution?

I appreciate any help.

Thanks.

It wasn't exactly clear whether the fuse was for the lights in all 3 mentioned things or for the radio, HVAC control lights and shift selector. Please clarify.
