Default Fuse problem

Recently, the interior dome lighting on my 2006 IS250 AWD stopped working, due to a broken fuse. This happened once before, and after replacing the ATM-10 fuse, the lighting worked again with no problems.

This time around however, when I put a new ATM-10 fuse in, it breaks immediately. I hear a very quiet pop (which I assume is the fuse breaking). I've tried six or seven fuses now with no luck.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I might be able to fix it?

Thanks.

You have a direct short to ground in the circuit. Have you modified the lighting in any way? If not get it into a shop and have them fix it...shouldn't be to hard to track down the source of the short from looking at the wiring diagram.

I have stock interior lighting; the only mod I have ever made is adding Tanabe NF210 springs to drop the car.

Direct short to ground? How would that have happened?

Thanks for your help.
