Do you have an ohmmeter?
Leave the fuse out and check the load side (wire to devices listed) to ground and see if there is a short to ground.
If yes, start at the hood lamps and see if the black power supply wiring to them is chaffed, melted or otherwise looks ok, disconnect them and see if the ground goes away. Then move to all the other devices on the list and do the same. The glove box lamp is notorious for falling out and shorting to the dash metal causing all sorts of mayhem in the wiring for the circuits attached to it... Melted wires to multiple circuits all over....
