    Ok so I replaced the fuse for that interior lights and while replacing with a new fuse, it shorts out. Also the DVD tv's dont work, but the one on the dash works. Im really concerned I got me a bad Routan...

    Did you replace the fuse with the same rating that was in there? And did you verify that that is the correct rating? You have a wire grounding causing it to short. I don't know if the cig lighters at the base of the dash are on that circuit, but check inside them, I had a penny or a dime fall into one once and shorted out.

    Yup replaced with with the same amp rating, 15a. Does the interior light have anything to do with the TV inside not working as well?...
