2005 rl

No power ! # 7 fuse "keeps" blowing. Horn works fine so does some lights. Everything else dead. I charged the battery I tried taking out the door fuse and #7 still blows. Any suggestions?

Your handle on either side is likely shorted. You will need to unplug the harness behind the handle or keep fuse 7 out until you can get a proper fix. Or just leave the handles unplugged and use the fob to lock/unlock.

The handle can also overheat and short out if the lock and unlock sensors are repeatedly triggered. Water can trigger the sensor, so people washing the car with the fob in their pocket have caused similar issues.
