FREAKING dome light!!!
I've searched the posts and haven't found a problem similar to mine, so: the dome light/under hood light keeps blowing the fuse. If anyone has the same issue and found the culprit can you help? I can't tear the entire interior out to try and chase down the short. Just wondering if anyone has found a common area this circuit shorts out!

aye, i have, it seems to take a minute to get enough resistance to blow the fuse, IE it doesnt blow immediately. its still driving me crazy and short of tearing the roof liner out, i cant seem to isolate where the issue is

If it takes awhile the problem might not be a dead on short. A few things I would check are, are you using the correct size bulbs and the correct size fuse. Next I would check the amps going through the fuse block.

Does the fuse still blow if all bulbs are physically removed?
If so, a wire or one of the fixtures may be the issue. If not, try adding the bulbs back one by one until it blows, then you may have narrowed down the issue.
