My Brava 1999 does not have the same fuse for all those things....
Are you sure that all those items are together on only one fuse ??

What I do in this situation is replace the fuse with a 12V bulb,
easy to make a gizmo for this from a blown fuse. Then if
there is a short the bulb lights, and you jiggle and fiddle
while the ball and chain reports whether the light goes out,
or is brighter or dimmer. Switching things on/off should locate
which circuit the short is on. Take what you can out of the
circuit first, like bulbs, then if the bulb lights it's probably going
to ground through the short.
