you can't really "rule out" anything with a short. For all you know, everything is wired fine but 2 wires are too close and they are arcing. 15A is alot of current. My guess would be that since the fuse isn't blowing immediately, it isn't something that is shorted to ground (like a stripped wire to the chassis). If it was, it would try to flow infinite current right away. So probably 2 wires that are at different potentials are touching. The only way to find it is to go over the wiring by hand with a multimeter. Or the "smoke test" which is pretty fuckin stupid. lol.
