2015 Ford Explorer Keeps blowing interior light #12 fuse.

[Chadcooley]

Can someone assist with the issue in the title? The fuse blows right when I put it in the socket. Light will work with #4 fuse which is on demand. Thanks in advanced.

Welcome to the Forum Chad.
The demand lights that are on fuse #4 all work because they are on a different circuit. Seeing as the #12 fuse keeps blowing as soon as you put it in the fuse panel, that to me would indicate that there is likely a short somewhere in the circuit. As it controls more than just the interior lights, you will have to probably check all the other items.

oops, mis-read that... back to the diagrams...

Okay, there's a whole crap-load of stuff in the lighting system that runs off of fuse f12 in the BCM.

What happened leading up to the fault?
