ummm

what year make and model? http://www.gpona.com/forums/garage.php

there has to be a blown bulb shorting out somewhere.

could also be a ground wire or crossed wire

have you tried putting in a 20 amp temporarily to see where the lights a re blown or to follow the polr

an you explain to me how the fuse pops?

is it when the key is shifted to accessory or when you open the door normally getting into the car?

If it's poppin' the fuse that fast, it's NOT worth wreckin' something with a 20A fuse. It will kill it just as fast, and might actually hurt something in the process. Pull ALL the bulbs, check 'em. Put the fuse in with ALL the bulbs out, and then start putting bulbs back in until the fuse pops.

yeah, don't put a 20a fuse in there if its blowing right away. theres a reason it comes with a 10a fuse. i would guess a wire is loose or frayed and grounding out.

Damn dude...........that's going to be one big hell of a project.....

I would also stay away from trying a 20amp fuse

I would start by putting the fuse in with the doors closed and everything off (dimmer to off also).......see what happens right when you put the fuse in let us know
