A bright dome light will not draw more than 2 amps. A loud radio would not draw much more than 3 amps. To blow a 10 amp fuse typically needs about a 20 amp load or a short circuit. As your load is only about 5amps, you have a short somewhere. Check the point where the radio power was taken from the dome ciruit and make sure the join is well insulated.
