So, the thing to do would be,, IF one is blown, buy more than 1.
replace the fuse & see if it blows.
If no, then go for a ride, carrying fuseSS with you.
Then keep them with you.
If yes.
Study the diagram & see which circuits load that fuse.
Look for a connector that will break the wiring harness, yet leave that fuse with 12 volts to it & unhook it.
See if it blows.
No? Reconnect the connector to make the harness complete again.
Yes?
The problem is in the wiring thats still in the circuit.
Look for it. Eyeballs are good.
In a totally dark room,sometimes a tiny arc can be seen.

Common problem areas include the wires that go into the headlight.

I THINK I remember seeing that. Confirmation anyone?

Someone may have a slicker approach. I am a bit of a hammer mechanic.
