Default When the rear defroster is plugged in, the interior lights won't turn off

OK, I'm certain there is a short somewhere but was wondering if anyone had experienced this and could point me in a place to look. The plug from the strut to the rear window in on the left time wasn't connected and the defroster fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse and if I turn on the defroster the fuse blows again. Then I noticed when it was plugged in the lights would dim when the door was closed but not go out. I disconnected the wire and the interior lights work as normal. Any thoughts.

Sorry I've had so many posts lately, but you guys are amazingly helpful for troubleshooting. Hopefully I can return the favor as I become a 951 "expert" myself.

You should be able to print and tape those three pages together. Hope that helps
