There is a high chance the fault is in one of the doors or the cig lighter.
Put a test light (or bulb with wires attached) in place of the fuse and it will light up bright. Then waggle any wires that control anything that doesn't work. You will know when you have located the fault 'cos the light will dim dramatically (but not go off completely) ie cig lighter, courtesy light and the wires in the doors. Then my first call would be the lighter. Disconnect this first (some dismantling to do) and see if the light goes a lot dimmer. Then check the insides of the doors for the power lock wires. The last time mine did this, someone had put a screw straight through the power lock wires.
Good luck.
