Default Fuse is BLOWING

Can any one help the fuse keeps blowing? There is no fuse listing on the inside of the cover. Dont know what fuse is supposed to be in there its for the vanity mirrors/mirror adjust/feet lighting and door lighting. There is a 5 amp(BLOWEN) fuse in there already just seems to small for all of that???????
it is on the bottom row 3rd one in if anyone can look on theres to see would be very grateful

thanks

Default Fuse

Hi Alex,
Had a look and allthough a slightly different set up, the fuse rating is 10 amps for the vanity lights and mirrors,
What you want is someone with a preface lift,just to double check really

Hi guys

Found out the cause of the fuse blowing!!!!
topgolfer1 said to me to check the sun viser as there is wires going to the vanity lights. well there is not wires but contacts where u unclip the viser to turn it to the side. i was about to unclip it then there was a spark and the fuse had blown. The contact is dirty. Question answered
