Electrical issue 2001 buick lesabre custome
The battery is brand new. The engine light was on for a misfire due to mice chewing the injector wire. The nest was on top of motor right by the fuel injectors. I fixed that and the light is off now. That was the only place I found a nest and damage from the rodents. I have taken panels off inside (doors, floors, & parts of dash) & checked under carpet below seats for damaged wires, I'm stumped. Connectors are all good also.

The fuse box is inside the car under the back seat near the battery. fuses that I've replaced twice and both times they blew instantly are... fuse# 7 DRV MDL, fuse #18 RRDR MDL, fuse #25 PASSMDL
I am going out to Look in the fuse box again because there may be one I'm forgetting. I will get back Shortly to let you know for sure if the three above that I've listed are all of them or if I forgot one.

So, here is something new that happened. The radio will randomly show the word "phone" on the display. So I assume there was a cell phone connected Somehow by previous owner. But night before last I sat in my car While talking to my mom on my phone. My Phone has never been synced or even charged in this car due to the plug not working in car. The entire time I was on my phone the radio displayed the word " phone" even with the car not running and keys out of ignition. 2 hours after I went into my house, I had company come over and they said they saw my radio Lit up in my car and it said "phone". The next morning my battery was completely dead and I had to Jump it to start the car. (Brand new battery ) This is the only time it'* ever done this as of right now. also, I did Check the bulbs for dome lights and they are good but lights don't work.
