Default small light fuse keeps blowing.. suggestions?

Hey what's up s2k I need some advice for some short circuiting problem. Basically my key less remote is not working along with most of my lights (interior, parking, license plate, taillights). I had both the keyless fuses (15) and small light fuse (10A) replaced. After three days since replacing the fuse the keyless the blew, the small light continually blew when I attempted to resolve the issue by replacing the fuse. In my attempts to find the problem, I inspected cheap aftermarket radio's PnP harness for any wires exposed making sure all wires were taken care of including the orange dimmer wire. I tried to replace the small light fuse after the radio inspection, but unfortunately every time I inserted a new small light fuse the suckers lite and blew up right after checking flipping the first light switch. I'm out of ideas any suggestions?

Might benefit you to have the radio reinstalled by a professional. If not try running the yellow back up wire and the red power power together or just leave the back up wire taped up and hooked to nothing.

I have already left the only unused wire, the orange dimmer light taped off.

Unplug the radio from its harness and see what happens.

Look for a short in the wire behind your headlights that's what blew mine
