Default 1994 Volvo 850 Seden popping fuses.

I have a 1994 volvo 850 seden, 3.4l N/A motor, auto trans.

Keeps blowing #15 *Radio, Courtesy Lamps, Door Warning Lamps, Oil Level Warning, Remote keyless entry* and #17 fuses. *Key Reminder, Seat Belt Reminder*

I took out the #17 fuse a few weeks ago because the door dinger was stuck on for some reason, took that out and it turned it off for a temporary fix, then when I put it back in to address the problem it started blowing the #17 and #15 fuse?

the radio mysteriously still works even without the #15 fuse in it?

any help is greatly appreciated. gonna go start tracking wires I guess.

Sorry for double post but Bump...

also, on the A/C fan speed switch, 0-1-2-3-4. only 4 works, so it's full blast, or off? could the switch just be bad?

and under the glove compartment, there is a buzz, then it clunks 3 times, then it buzz's some more, then clunks 3x, repeat. constantly. any fix for this?

Sorry but fuse #15 goes to a lot of interior circuits; get yourself a schematic and start inspecting the circuits for shorts. If it's a hard fault should be pretty easy to find. Inline circuit breaker is real handy for troubleshooting these kinds of faults.

As far as the fan speed control, sounds like the blower resistor is burnt up. If you do a search i remember seeing posts describing its R&R...
