Interior courtesy lights fuse

In my 2006 Civic 2-dr coupe the fuse that controls the interior lights (map, dome, trunk), continuously blows. Replaced fuse (7.5 amp) and it either works for a short period of time or the fuse shorts as soon as it's plugged in. All other fuses work fine. Any ideas as to where to start looking for short or any ideas on what could be the cause??

Re: Interior courtesy lights fuse

gotta retrace the wiring, maybe one is shorting out. is the car stock? or have you installed stuff at all.

Thanks for the reply. No, haven't installed anything. Car just has factory-installed equipment.

Re: Interior courtesy lights fuse

probably have something grounding out. no easy fix here. you've got to start chasing wires, disconnecting portions to isolate parts of the circuit, etc. no small task
