you have a short somewhere. try pulling all the bulbs then replacing the fuse. if it does not blow, install them one by one till you find the problem.
if you think there is a lot of bulbs to pull, trust me... that is nothing. i went through a similiar problem with my suburban a few months ago. it has over 11 interior lights and that is HALF the circuit....argh!

i think its my corner lights thats blowing them... i put some amber joints in there.. before it wasnt blowing.. but i had the amber lights in for a whole night without blowing anything.. then the next night that when the fuses start blowing.. when the fuses blow, the tail lght wont work corners(only blink) and in dashes.. what u guys think??
In summer a friend had similar problems. No headlight and interior. Only the corner- and taillights worked. We checked the bulbs: all ok. One fuse was blown, don't remember the number. We changed it, but it was the same. At last we looked after the wire harness from dashboard (steering wheel/ignition) to fuse box. We found nothing, but after that... all functioned. Maybe there was a blank wire and caused a short circuit. I'm almost sure that's the reason for ya problems.
