I think it's safe to say whatever runs off fuse 17 is a potential fault. You will need a power distribution diagram to determine everything that is powered off that fuse and isolate one at a time

The KVM is the only user of fuse 17P.
The high voltage on the module side of the fuse-holder with the fuse removed is not necessarily an indication of a malfunction. If a light globe is connected to it the voltage may drop to nil.
The facilities that stop working with the fuse fitted are all the devices on the medium speed canbus. A faulty door lock or handle or its wiring could be causing the KVM to malfunction so unplugging those modules from the KVM would be necessary to exclude them as suspects.
I found this in the internet. Item 6 is the KVM located in the roof at the middle of the car. I'll search on how to get to it.
I found a wiring diagram, too. I'm no expert on this but I can see what you mentioned that it's feeding the door switches and antennas.
Like what you said, if I can get to the KVM then I can unplug the modules one by one.
3Voiz,
It appears you are on the right path. Process of elimination. Well done. Just a heads up not to discount a wiring loom section because wriggling it had no effect. If possible to disconnect the canbus wiring at the KVM module and end device, I would test each wires resistance and to confirm no continuity to earth, and visually inspect the wires at points of interest. I.e. where they pass through panels, are subject to movement/bending or are in located in tight spots and at termination points. I would be guessing it is highly likely the canbus wires, as the other wiring appears to actually switch to earth as a normal function. My canbus wire had the smallest split in it, very hard to see, but with the loom located in an obvious pinch point, a detailed closer inspection of the wiring in that loom section revealed the culprit wire defect.
Best of luck to you. Hope you or the Indy find whatever the fault is without too much dismantling.
Other than the fault itself, I was very much disappointed my 11 day old vehicle had almost all internal panels dismantled.
Yeah mate under the third row seats, under the carpet, they are the KVM antennas. If you search on here I think "lukeis" has a post about smart key not found and someone put up the list of the antennas. There pretty close to the winch for the spare.
Good luck, there is a bit of information in the manuals that you can buy on here
