Default Dome Fuse keep blowing. HELP!

I don't know what to do about this. My 93 SC300 5speed is completely stock and it keeps blowing the 10Amp dome fuse in the engine bay. Also the 30Amp Door fuse blew the other day too. I don't have a clue what's causing it. Any ideas on what to check for? Or where to start checking? Thanks guys.

Its fairly common for the wiring in the door jambs to go bad from years of openeing and closing the doors. If you have a shorted wire in there, that could easily cause the blown fuses. You will need to tear apart the door panel, and look at the wiring that goes through the rubbber boot between the door and the door frame. Since you have a dome fuse and a door fuse issue, that is where i would start.

Thanks, that's what I told my wife tonight that I figured it was. I told her that the only thing that has happened to the car since I changed the 10Amp fuse the other day was my getting in and out of the car and since the DOOR fuse blew out also, I just put 2 & 2 together and came up with that assumption. Thanks for your input. I'm going to look into it.
