Neil, I just fixed the same problem on my 81, not that you have the same problem I had but mine was a short in the passenger side mirror. The wire harness had rubbed where it went thru the door.

I haven't had time to look at the car yet, i only noticed this morning on the way to work that the illuminated entry was not working, when i put a new fuse (30 Amp) in it just blows straight away. Fuse 6 covers : - stop, under panel & door courtesy, map/reading light, door key cylinder, trunk, ignition switch, under hood & vanity mirror lamps, electric mirror motors, ignition switch time delay relay, electronic chimes, electronic search tune memory, illuminated entry electronics, electronic cluster memory & security alarm, electronic cluster seat switch. So you see why i am asking for a bit of guidance as i could spend a long time stabbing in the dark. Thanks in advance, Neil 82 Imp.
