There is a short in that circuit. you don't need expensive tools or electrical testers, or superior auto knowledge to diagnose. Just a few fuses and hopefully a wiring diagram if needed. One fuse or more than one? you may have to use a wiring diagram to determine what all is in a shorted circuit. unplug all components in the faulty circuit. put in a good fuse. then connect one component at a time until the fuse blows. replace that component. repeat for other short circuits. if it is two separate circuits and the above diagnostics fail, look for somewhere the two circuits could unintentionally meet. like at the back of the fusebox panel or at the wiring harness. remember, corrosion could be the bridge between two circuits that should be separate.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. My stereo intermittently goes out and now I can't lock my car - are these two things related and could it be a fuse?

Very Possible it is your fuse, the only thing that makes me think otherwise is that your problem is intermittent. When a fuse blows, things stop working they do not work intermittently. If you recently installed a stereo, check the harness for crossed connections or exposed wiring that may be causing a short. When you blow the fuse for the stereo it usually takes out many of the interior electronic accessories such as Interior dash lights, electronics door locks, dome lamps, etc. Check the fuse box likely under the dash, if not in a corner of the engine compartment under the hood and find the diagram for the fuse lay out. Check the fuse for the stereo or interior accessories or for the door locks. problem could be with the wiring for either.

Blow fuse for interior lights and windows

The short is probably an electronic device which shorted a semi conductor in it's cicuit. Even replacing a fuse will only blow them out right away. Do you notice anything electronic that do not work? For example the radio or something. Anyways I am from houston as well.

Fuse blowing

About the only thing i can come up with is to check the wires where they run through the door jam. That's usually where they break, and short out.

Security Light always on, door lock fuse keeps blowing

This is most likely a problem with your Passlock anti-theft system which is known issue with these cars. Passlock is a "passive" anti-theft system, which means that it will disable your ability to start the car if it thinks there is a problem. The three components that can cause this are: 1) Ignition Switch, 2) Ignition Cylinder, 3) Body Control Module (computer). The dealer is the only one who can solve this problem (unless you can bypass it, but it is not that easy). Estimated repair from most dealers is $800 and up.
