Yes, you have dead short. Until you visually look at all items protected by that fuse you will continue to have a short. What does the fuse power? If its dome lights and cigarette lighters, look for tin foil, dimes, any metal in a lighter socket not the ash tray.

Used to see that issue weekly in the shop. As a smoker, its never happened to me. Also quickly removing or inserting a cell phone charger can pop this fuse as well. Be aware!
