Default Boot light keeps blowing fuse

If it's blowing a fuse there's a short somewhere. No mystery about that. You just gotta find it. And that's no fun. I'd start by removing the lamps so there's zero load, then replacing the fuse with a resistor, and monitoring the voltage on its output. Disconnecting bits where accessible will show you when the short goes away.
