Default Illum fuse keeps blowing...

At the moment I have no dash lighting as the Illumination fuse keeps blowing, when replaced it just dies as soon as the lights have turned on... at the same time as this, my fogs (both front and rear) are not working either, I've checked all the bulbs and they are fine, and *all* of the fuses are ok except the Illum.

Ideas?

have you had a radio fitted, sometimes people wire up the earth to the illumination wire, as soon as you turn the lights on, it blows. try unplugging the radio, if it's ok then, chop and insulate the wire used for the earth, find a propper earth and try again, otherwise, time to go over the car's wiring and bulbs. only leave to a pro unless you're confident
