Default Dome Light Help!

Everything else electrical works in the car and these are getting on my nerves. Whenever I put a new fuse in the box it blows I have no clue as to why? Has anyone out there had this problem before? I don't even know where to start looking.

Pull the bulb and see if it still does it. You have a short. It could be the bulb, the socket, or somewhere in the wiring.

Thanks! Should I pull one bulb at a time or pull both?

my neighbors had a short like this.Being that the dome lighgt circuit is very simple, check your dooor switches and see if they are grounding out first, then opne one door at a time or use the dimmer ans wee what blows the fuse.

Thanks. I was looking in my manual and it shows that there should be two wires (black with blue stripe) coming from the fuse box which connects to the wire from the bulbs. Does anyone know what color the wire from the bulbs is? In my manual it has code 137A19 (I think) but nothing in the key for that code.
