Interior fuse keeps blowing

You are correct that this is a short that is causing the fuse to blow. This is before the bulb and basically it is most likely a wire that is rubbed through.

What happens is the wire is has a bare spot and when you hit the right bump it touches something metal, and it provides a path directly to ground and it blows the fuse.

If you let me know what fuse it is I can narrow this down for you, but I attached all the wiring diagrams below.

However, I would suggest just running a new vehicle because these older vehicles could have rodents chewing on them because the wiring actually tastes good to them because of what they are made.

If that is the case, then it is easier to just run a new wire than try to find the issue.

Please see the wiring diagrams attached below. Let us know what questions you have.

Okay. So, if this the same fuse, then that makes it number 4 in the IP fuse box?

If that is the case, then that is a pretty large circuit as there are a lot of components on it.

So, it could be a wire as stated above or it could be any of the components circled. The best thing to do is try and eliminate these items one at a time and if the fuse keeps blowing then move onto the next one.

However, this is when the fuse blows immediately. Since you have to drive it a little way, you may be better off disconnecting all of them and confirm the fuse stops blowing. If it does, then plug one back in at a time until it blows again.

If the fuse blows even with the things unplugged, then you have a wiring issue.

Sorry about the diagrams. I tried to enlarge them
