Damm electrical problem...Help!

Fuse #8 blew on Friday on my way home from work. I throw another one in and it lasts about a day. Now it pops instantly.

My understanding is that it does these items:

dome light
glove box light
power mirrors
map light
radio

This is what I have done:
-disconnected the radio. Nothing there but the 2 factory connectors.
-remove the bulbs from the above mentioned lights
-disconnected the power mirror switch in the consol
-I've put a bulb across the fuse terminals so that it lights up. If it is a short and I jiggle the wire the light so go out or flicker. I removed the kick panels, glove box and I reached under the dash and I can't break the circuit.

Is there anything else I can do short of pulling the dash?

I don't know why it blew, worked for a day, and now blows immidiately. The previous owner put in a alarm and did a horrendus job. Even looking at the spreaker wiring makes me scared to know what lies beneath the dash...I wanted this to be a winter project....

The only thing remotely electrical I did in the previous days was get a tune. I've check the wires in the kick panel closely and the all look good.

Any help would be great! Sorry for the long post...

No I haven't gotten the light to go out.

I'can't figure out a way to narrow down the area it is in?

Could the dimmer cause this?

Thanks.

Hahaha! What a pain!

I had the shroud of the steering columm and was ready to tear out the dimmer switch when I figued I should check the trunk. I don't have a gas door release but Ford puts it on the harness anyways. Well, guess what? The damm plug (female type) plugged itself onto a bolt in the trunk. As soon as I saw it I knew it was it.

Fawk I don't know how much time I spent under the dash...

Thanks for all the replies...
