Could be a short to ground somewhere.

A little info on what year model might help, but here's one that I have on file.
#8 controls several items. I'd venture to say that the most abused item on the list is the courtesy lamps. A bad contact on the door switches might be your culprit. I'd unplug the simple stuff first. The door chime, the radio if you've go the release tools or check you dome/door lights for a bad socket.
