Fuses keep blowing

Hey. I have a 95 max. For some reason lately my interior lights fuse keep blowing. It all started on Sunday with my whole light system not working. (Headlights/Taillights/Fogs/Interior Lights/Parking Lights). I took it to my friend and he figured out that the problem came from one the foglights which is rewired to the parking lights. We disconnected the fog lights and everything started working again after blowing a couple more fuses. (The fuses under the hood for taillight) But later that day the interior lights kept blowing. I blew about 3 fuses in the last 3 days. And I only drove the car like 3 times in the last 3 days. He basically said there is a short somewhere but how do I figure out where the short it? It is pissing me off. Any advise would be grateful.

Hook the thing up to a circuit breaker. This way when it blows you can reset it. Some reset by themselves.

I think you fried a wire somewhere.

Next time use a relay

i had a problem with the front corner parking lights... the bulb was bad and it kept blowin my fuse every time i turned on the lights...

My suggestion is try taking out all the bulbs and turn on the lights and see if it's the bulb that's the problem. It might not necessarily be the wiring.
