Default Fuse blowing

I have a 94 V6.

All of the sudden the fuse for the Dome lights and CD player will blow.
It is very intermitant. Sometimes it will last a week or two, sometimes only a few minutes.
At first I thought that it only happened when the door was open.
But now I think that moving around in the drivers seat will cause it.
It happens even when the radio is off, so I thought it had something to do with the dome light switch. But since then, it has blown with the doors closed. Once when I was reaching into my back pocket to get my wallet and once when I was reaching across to roll down the passenger window. Is it possible that there is a wire running under the seat that could be shorting out?
Any help will be appreciated

Thanks
Dave

Not unless you have power seats.

I found it!
It was not in the seat but in the center console. It was the light that goes on when you open the console cover. Somehow the wires got twisted and it looks like the insulation may have been striped a little too far before they installed the connector. So they would touch when the console was tweaked a little bit. Thanks for you input!
