Are You saying the car works normally with the room fust out? If it does check for a bad fuel pump relay, You can swap it with another relay with the same number in the same fuse block.
hi i did swap, the relay , clean out all the vert-de-gris in the inside and outside fuses boxes,there is a short somewhere, do you know where the connector are located, i dont whant to take out the seat and carpet , to search for them, do you know if one of them is knowed to corode or melt or .... thasnk's in advance for all your help
Unfortunately there's no magic way to locate a short. At least you know the room circuit is probably the culprit, If you can locate a wiring diagram you can trace that circuit shorts are rare so I'd be looking around the block with the relay in it. Diagrams are available at you local library.
