Fuse question

I have a 1988 3.2 Carerra and am having a new problem with a blown fuse. The fuse in spot #4 which controls the clock, radio and interior lights continues to blow. I have replaced it now 3 times and each time the battery gives a small spark and the fuse immediately blows. I am using the recommended 5A fuse (European) that the panel recommends. This is new problem and began a couple weeks ago. Any ideas? Ways to test and repair? Thanks, in advance.

Fuse.

I would lift the bottom wires on the fuse one at a time to fault isolate.

pm me as needed.

My 1973 did the same thing/same fuse. Traced it to the passenger side interior dome light shorted. Your results may vary.

Glove box light circuit melts a lot of dash harnesses.
