I keep blowing a number ten fuse in the fuse panel located next to passenger left leg. It controls the dome light and drivers door key-less lock/unlock. When I replace the fuse it does not blow right away it works for a few days then it will blow. I am stumped as to what could possibly be blowing it. Phone charger?
what can I look for?

Is the fuse labeled locks? Or is it labeled body?

The cigarette lighter is a different circuit the body fuse is the trunk release dome light part of the door lock circuit etc. If you have a sunroof that is part of it as well as power mirrors. I have seen a lot different things blow that fuse pinched wire on the passenger mirror pinched wire in the trunk hinge pinched wire in the sunroof module etc.

No sunroof or power mirrors. So maybe look for a pinched wire in the trunk latch?
