I may be able to help more if you know the specific fuse number. Clearly you have an electrical short, but more information is needed to trace down the short location.

For example, is it fuse 43 (7.5A) under the hood for the ceiling light? Or fuse 25 (7.5A) under the dash for the gauge lights?

The dash lights brightness controller can sometimes develop an electrical short. Remove the controller and do test 3 on the connector (see diagram). If fuse 30 doesn't blow, then the controller is bad.
