FIAT 500 - Fiat 500 Central Locking Issues - Rooby

A few weeks ago the central locking on my Fiat 500 stopped working. I replaced the fuse, which seemed to fix the issue. However, the fuse has now blown again. Any ideas on the cause and what might be needed to fix it?

Maybe a daft question, but is this something any garage would look at or would I need to take it somewhere specialist?

Possibly wire shorting somewhere.Most common issue on these is the wiring fractured/broken where it runs from the body to the tailgate,through the rubber tube.May be an idea to take it to an auto electrical specialist.
