Fuse Problem

My fuse for interior lights keep on burning out. It's a 15 amp fuse. 2 seconds later after I turn on my lights it fries. So to get around I put a 20 or 25 so it doesn't fry, but as I was driving I smelled something burning. I thought it was rubber or my brakes that I need to replace. Nope, it was my fuse smoking and too hot to touch. What can I do to help? Also, is that fuse for my rear night lights cause they don't even go on either, even with the fuse?

Thanks

You don't want to hear this, but you probably already know there is a short to ground in that circuit. The place to start is between what works and what doesn't.

I willing to bet you smoked the harness behind the Left Side Instrument Cluster. Check It out and see for yourself. It happened to me...
