Door Lock Activation Blows Fuse V70-XC70 2003

2003 V70 Non-Turbo Base Model, 152,000 Miles.

There is a fuse #8 in the rear cargo fuse panel that controls the rear door locks and fuel door Lock. Activating the door locks blows the fuse. Operating the fuel door lock release does NOT blow the fuse. I have not gotten into the rear doors yet to isolate whether the problem is in the LH or RH door. I'm assuming there are places to disconnect the harness once I'm inside the doors so that I can isolate each one individually and hopefully determine which one is shorting. I would really like to disconnect the harness before it enters the door at all if there's a place.

The rubber boots between the pillar and the door appear be in good condition on both port and starboard sides of the ship. Is there a "typical" thing that shorts out that I should look for?

BTW - it's a bummer when you can't open the fuel door to pour in some of that $3.68 gas.
