Default fuse 29 blowing

hi guys as per title the number 29 fuse which is 1am keeps blowing. i have changed it few times but same. i read about the armrest light causing this in most cases? i stripped the arm rest area and found that there is one wiring for left armrest and one blank connector. Can anyone shed light on this as I could not take the connector off!! is there a way of doing this to prevent blown fuse again?

kind regards

Disconnecting the illumination for the arm rest sorted the issue and cable will be investigated and new wiring run most likely done at the later date
