If a fuse is blown, it's usually pretty easy to visually see it. If not and you don't have a fuse chart, you may have to pull them one by one to find the one with the blown link.

RE: l need a hand...

Thanks.....but l found out that it is not a blown fuse....it goes on intermittenly....When l open the door, sometimes its on, sometimes its off.....l'm wondering if it has something to do with the settings....l think the fuse is linked to the door sills and they are fine...l'm not exactly sure, what's going on...

A dirty or sticky switch in the door frame? My G500 does this; and the remedy is to clean the contacts in the switch.

I'm not sure. You need to figure a way to remove the switch and clean the internals with electrical contact cleaner.
