Every time I open my passenger door and the HVAC is set on defrost mode it blows the 30amp fuse. It's starting to become really annoying when I forget to take it off defrost before opening my door. I'm wondering what could cause this. Maybe a short in the door? But the only wiring going to that door is for the speaker. It has manual locks, manual window, etc. Anyone have any ideas?

 

Certainly sounds like you have a short somewhere. It might not be in the door itself. Could be something related to the interior lights when the door is opened, could be a bad connection on a switch that is supposed to turn the lights on and off when door is opened/closed. Hard to say really. Could be the wires on the doors speakers maybe causing a short somewhere. Shorts and things like this are a real pita to diagnose, my '86 Comanche had a weird short that only happened at random while driving that caused the headlights to stop working. Never did manage to track it down before I sold it.
