Why? She didn't mention any other issues, just the interior lights. Most TJ drivers pull the fuse when they run a soft top.

im having the same problem and im gonna check this spot as soon as i get home. while i was under mine, i found a spot on the upstream o2 sensor wire that was burned, but it was the white wire, not the ground. taped it up and still experiencing the same problem
