Not to come across as brash or anything, but the reason you had the blown fuse is probably the shorted wire. I would have a hard time believing the short is somewhere in the cabin/headliner, as wiring in these areas just don't get damaged. it's probably either in the harness around the fusebox or perhaps outside the car around the chassis.

Have you recently done any electrical work to the car? Any repairs, head unit/stereo system install..?
