Default Help Please! Blown Fuse Problems

I have a 2001 F150 XLT 4.6L. It keeps blowing one of the fuses which prevents me from putting it in gear,operating the electric windows or interior lighting. It's a 5amp fuse & I have replaced it 4 times.It seems that this fuse also affects the cruise control. Do I need to take it in to an auto electic specialist to have a short traced down? Unsure of how to proceed here. Thanks in advance!

Check for a breaking/broke wire on the brake pedal that goes to the park/brake/safety switch. After that I don't know....just start looking for stuff. Or put a bigger fuse in lol....

I don't want to put a higher amp fuse in because I am afraid of a fire or something burning up.
