only way to know is to get a wiring schematic and trace the wires and try to find the short.

Your best bet, take it to an electrical specialist

it could be your dimmer wires from you deck, cd/dvd player. since you mention about your tv installation then i'm sure it is. the orange wire going to your deck from the dash. same thing happened to me. i just wrapped the orange wire with black electrical tape. hope this help.

i agree w this my radio had a wire touch and it took out my tail lights and instrument panel lights, pull out your deck and check it all out make sure nothng is touching and go ahead and try to replace the fuse tape everything up real good before you put it back, if the new fuse doesnt pop as soon as you try to put it in w the deck outa the dash then there u go
