Any recent stereo mods or bulbs replaced? I had the same issue and took me a week of searching before I realized I replaced the clock bulbs and one of them was grounding and blowing the fuse.

You have a short somewhere.

Any recent electrical work? Or work in the car that could potentially pinch a harness?

Easiest thing to do is unplug the bulbs you replaced. Then plug in one at a time and keep checking to see if it still blows fuse. If that's not it, probably a pinched stereo wire...

Cool, seems like aftermarket bulbs are always a Crap shoot and either work or short stuff out

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Also check the wiring for the lights in the trunk for any fraying, cuts or crimps. Might have an issue with those which could cause your issue.
