I would take a close look/sniff around the Autolamp/Dimmer area of the dash.

No, not a door or dimmer switch. Its definitly directly related to the last
time the fuse blew and i smelt somthing melt/burn a little bit. If i watch
the lights while they are on, and shut the door, they dim just a TINY bit,
so they are losing the power from the door swtich, but its still gettin
power from whatever melted together i guess. Just not sure the best way to
hunt it down.
Thanks for the suggestions though, keep 'em coming :)
