I recently lost power for my interior lights (dome light, vanity lights, etc.). We tried to simply replace the fuse, but every time I insert a new fuse, it blows immediately. Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

I have seen the dome light bulb holder melt and short out but to be sure here is the interior lighting wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Please check each of the bulbs and let me know what you find. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
