Now, you can cut the odds of finding the fault in half by separating the two wires on the driver's side of fuse #3. One is W/G the other is LtG. Remove those two wires, put a fuse in the fuse holder, and with the key ON, touch each wire, one at a time, holding it there for 30 seconds, and see which one blows it. If you're really lucky, it'll be the LtG wire.
