W124 #3 fuse keeps blowing 86 300E

Number three fuse controls passenger side running (2 side marker and one tail) lamps, headlamp cleaning unit, license plate light, instrument, control elements - which I think should read as "instrument control elements. License plate lights are not working. It seems like when I replace the fuse, the lights work until I turn the lights off and when I turn them on again it is dead. Anyone have any suggestions.

Check the license plate/trunk light wiring where it enters the trunk lid's hollow hinge on the driver's side, the wire/s usually break right at the edge of the opening.
