May not be your problem, but one of my side marker lights didn't have a bulb in it and one of the metal contacts was broken inside of the connector and kept touching the opposite contact and kept blowing that same fuse. Check all side marker, tail light, and gauge cluster wiring, they are all on that same circuit....also the door chime is on that circuit. Make sure none of those wires are frayed or bare and shorting out.

When it goes, are your cluster lights going out too? If so, its a contact on the headlight switch. One of the metal fingers is contacting wrong. I had to take mine apart, and bend it a little.

it was retarded unicorns and gremlins and micro rotary engines were involved. The gremlins had been driving little rotary powered dune buggy style cars, that they used to hunt, or otherwise, chance down the unicorns. They would kill the unicorn, then drag it by its tail back to hide its body in my fuse box and when they flipped it around, the horn would hit, and bust your fuse.

I was pissed, but whatever...

is all good now

You should have just made up this cool story about unicorns and gremlins and micro rotary engines. The gremlins should have been driving little rotary powered dune buggy style cars, that they used to hunt, or otherwise, chance down the unicorns. They would kill the unicorn, then drag it by its tail back to hide its body in your fuse box and when they flipped it around, the horn would hit, and bust your fuse.
Something like that
cooler than, two crap wires were touching.
