So it's a "solid" failure... which makes it MUCH easier to chase down with an ohmmeter.Pops as soon as power restored after new fuse. This is with no apparent load (lights and fan switches off)

Mice and House fuse issue in westy
I caught few mice in the house of my westy. I tried few things to persuade them it is not a good idea. However, in my last trip the kitchen lights all of a sudden stopped working. I checked the manual and it looks like it was the Fuse. I replaced the fuse and it keeps burning on the spot. What’s...sprinter-source.com
DanielMcCoy's post provides info about the wiring in the upper kitchen cabinet for the lights (between the lower shelf and the bottom of the cabinet).
The rest of the wiring for the lights presumably goes behind the metal backsplash and to the fuses.
The fuse block looks like it unscrews and removes from the front. I don't know what type of access there is to behind the fuse block. Usually, you can access that area from the dishpan compartment: removing the protective L cover around the main 12 volt switch, then the panel against the back of the bench seat.
The other removable panel is inside the small top compartment with a hinged door.
Finally, there may be detailed instructions in the CD-Rom instructions. The pdf version is at http://sprinterwestfalia.com/
Please post whatever you find and do. Thanks.
Well as I posted on the other thread..... opened up the bottom of top kitchen cabinets by removing the nails with a lederman Knife blade. The right shelf has a nice knotch that allows you to lift the shelf and I found some droppings there but nothing else.In other thread about mice
