Default Short on Interior Lights

Hey guys I really your help on this. I have a short on the interior lights somewhere. Every time i replace the fuse it blows on the spot. I checked all the bulbs and they seem fine. I also took out the glove box and found no issues with the BCM hardness (no cuts or anything)....can you help on this? Im at a lost.

Thanks

BTW - 2004 GTO

Got it fixed. Took the car to the dealer since it was still under warranty and they fixed it. Turns out it was the driver side visor. All good now

I would have guessed BCM as well, as I hear about those issues kinda frequently with our cars.
I would NOT have guessed sun visor though.......
But lets keep in mind i know nothing of electrical systems.
Glad you got it fixed and it was a simple thing.

The wiring harness behind the head liner rubs thur the retaining screws and causes a short to ground, which causes the fuse to blow. Very common issue with most GMcars
