electrical short 200 1991

You have two fuses on your car for the power windows. Number 10 and number 12. Check number 12, since if this one blows it also gives you the irritating ding, ding, ding. If the power window fuse blows again, try turning off your air conditioner. See if this keeps it from blowing again. As far as the other fuse; I'm thinking...I have no idea. I suspect that a nickel will support much more current than an 8 amp fuse. I suspect you had the key out of the ignition, and that you had the driver's door open when you were putting in your five cents, therefore I'd opt for the problem being somewhere in the circuit for the courtesy light. The brown wire on the 2nd connector on fuse #10 supplies the power feed for fuses 7-10. A spike, hopefully, didn't take out much. The things I would check first would be the overhead light, and the relay for the delayed courtesy light. Tiny silver cylinder under the knee bolster with four wires going to it. I guess try these things...and then let us know.
