main fuse for the circuit that controls power door locks, cigar lighter, radio amp, rear hatch-if a fuse is inserted in fuse panel at circuit#13 it blows immediately -none of the above have power-the orange wire in second location in the plugin harness that goes up into the dash wiring harness is where the issue arises easier to have wiring diagram than to gut entire dash-plugin is next to left kickpanel where floor meets firewall(where fusebox was in the 1980's) have already disconnected plugs at all 4 doorlock controls and at cigar lighter and radio and rear hatch switch-seems like dead short to ground-thanks

You will have to trace that orange wire to see where it's rubbing on bare metal, if you've disconnected everything then it has to be the wiring.
Other wise my guess would have been the cigar lighter. You haven't recently used either a phone charger or Sat Nav from it have you?

was hoping for a wiring diagram to give an insight as to where it splits and how often, also to be sure no other feeds r on it-that dash does not look fun to take apart-nothing was hooked to cigar lighter, it is my friends and it quit some time ago and he can't troubleshoot wiring-if all else fails i will hook my toner to it and see if i can ring where it goes as long as i don't get too much feedback on uninsulated wires-looked for diagram here and all over net with no luck

problem was passenger power seat switch intermittently shorting to ground-radio and cigar lighter are powered from behind convenience center-the small orange wire in 6 wire connector on front of convenience center goes into main harness to passenger side of suburban, it splits to both black female plugs in kickpanels, splits to a relay (to ?) above steering column and behind instrument cluster(good luck changing that without dropping dash)splits to keyless entry module, then splits once more behind radio and goes behind heater box and under carpet at transmission hump to seats

Oh the joy of Porsches where you have separate fuses for every function or Mercedes back in the day when that fuse would have had what, 8? wires coming off it, simply remove 1 at a time. Had that a million years ago with an E-Type Jag blowing a constant, it was (naturally) the lighter but again it had separate wires for each circuit.
