here is a break down of your stereo diagram just in case, pull the radio and make sure you don't have a loose wire behind the radio and if it's an aftermarket you may check your connections. I'm sure it's deeper then that if it's doing all that but atleast you'll know things are ok behind the radio. I don't know how to tell how the correct procedure is to tell if you have a short, but i know you'll need a 12 volt lite. You may need this and you may not but i thought i would try and help cover the area i know. If it's grounding out behind the radio then that may be the problem. doesn't hurt to check it.
good luck.

that is a common problem as it was stated a few posts above. the interior lites, cig lighter, are all wire on the same fuse. I've seen guys trying to get constant power by tapping into the power wire going to the cig lighter. but since you'll be pulling the complete faceplate, might as well check your connections to your radio. wouldn't hurt and it's only 4 screws and you'll get a good look at the wiring behind your ac controls and everything. trust me the metal under the dash and behind the radio are razor sharp so they can cut wires with relative ease. just my 2 cents and it's worth looking into atleast to know it's ok there. even factory plugs go bad so if you still have the stock radio in it, it'd be worth checking out.
