Default a6 interior lights fuse keeps blowing

Hi, i have a 2000 a6, the fuse for the interior lights, windows, and alarm system (fuse # 14) keeps blowing every time i put one in. I understand this is a ground problem or a short wire. I need to know if I need to do this manually where exactly do i need to look first? when the fuse blows i get the sign of three doors open except the driver's. the interior lights keep flashing a little before it blows. This is some info which i hope someone could use to tell me where i need to look to fix the shortage.

in case some one else is facing the same problem, it turned out to be a short in a wire under the passenger seat. There is a little light on the passenger's front seat, that lights up when the rear door is opened. The wire for this light was short, so I just unplugged it, since it's basically useless. Took me a year and a half but i didn't spend a penny. If someone else is having problem let me know.

Thanks for the advice. Was experiencing the same problems it turned out to be the light in the drivers seat causing the fault with me.
