I don't recall if it was fuse 8 or not, but one of the hot-all-the-time fuses would go everytime I would pop the glovebox light out of its ground ring to keep it from killing the battery while gluing up the glove box. The yellow wire and lamp socket short out if it is loose up there.

Solved that by using contact cement. No, not the fuse blowing, but the time it takes to glue a glovebox front. The contact cement job is done in 10 minutes precluding the need to disable that little light bulb.
