electrical problem with a 1996 Cherokee Classic

One day, 3 things stopped working in my Jeep (none of them critical, obviously): dome light, power locks, radio. I got under and found the blown fuse, and replacement of it immediately blows the next one, so I'm assuming a short in one of the three devices. I can manually lock the doors, live without the inside light, but CAN'T LIVE without the radio. Anyone have this happen?

My next logical step: locating the short and removing it from the system. I will even do so at the sacrifice of the device that the short is affecting (i.e., if I can find out that it's in the light circuit or the lock circuit, I'd cut them off from the electrical system and replace the fuse.

What's the most efficient way to cut the majority of either of these circuits out of the loop so I can jam again?

Thanks in advance -

BS
