I have a 2000 vr6 and the other day the electric windows stopped working along with the sun roof and interior lights. I also noticed that one of the headlights was dim and the other bright. I checked the fuses and found a 30A and A 10A blown, when i rwent to replace the 30A the minute I put it into its slot it blu. I check for abovous shorts and found none, My question is could this be a windows relay fuse gone or an ignition swicth, or where do I begin to look,

I checked for grounds and found them to be okay, I double checked all fuses and found another one had blown replaced that and the windows and internal lights all work. The 30A fuse in the # 35 slot still blows when I put it in, I left it out and tried all of the functions of the car and everything seems to work ,but I looked over all my liteture including the manual along with a haynes repair book and no where is it listed what the 30A controls also when I put it in it arcs. My problem could be solved if I knew what the #35 controls
