Fuse problems, dimmer, door alarm, rear running light?

[beuler43]

A) Door ajar/open alarm - works when interior lamp fuse is pulled - but interior lamp goes out when pulled
B) Dash night lamp/dimmer not working
C) right rear running light no power
D) Stereo not working (fixed)

Ive metered every fuse both boxes, found just one blown, replaced, ... stereo 15a with yellow jacket.

I am stumped at this point, any ideas?

is there a link between A B and C

check the ground by the rear taillamp for the running light.

dimmer is a rheostat. it might just be worn out, what does it do?

I am not sure i understand A.

I am not sure i understand A.

I should add all this occurred from a battery replacement, battery had reverse orientation, harness had to be adjusted to reach, anyways zapped it once before I figured it out, it was enough to burn out the main 100amp on battery(replaced), stereo fuse plus a,b,c issues.

I dont get (A) either, its a cluster fuse, door open dinging on when pulled, interior lamp off, plugged back in... no door dinging , lamp on..... very odd..

Appreciate help, I will pull dimmer put a meter on it.
