Default HELP with blowing FUSE... Int lights,clock,hatch

My fuse to the clock, hatch switch, and interior lights keeps blowing instantly when I insert a fuse. This obviously means there is a short some where. I believe it all happened when I removed my radiator almost a year ago. Im trying to get an idea for where the short could be. Could removing the radiator have broken a common wire somewhere? Does anyone know the wiring on these cars, if so I would so APPReciate it!
Thanks
Dustin

Mine would blow occasionally because of a bare wire making metal contact at the glove box light.

Mine would blow out since the interior light kept falling out and shorting. Electrical tape around the edge of the hole fixed both the shorting issue and the falling out issue.
