Any suggestions?

First, please be careful when troubleshooting electrical problems. It's never a good idea to use a higher amperage fuse than you're supposed to--you could cause a fire by overheating that wire. Use a meter to trace voltage or remove power and use the resistance setting on the meter to trace and TS your problem. If you don't know enough to understand what I am talking about, you probably should call a professional.
Second, I would suspect a pinched and partially shorted wire since the circuit includes the lights in the slide. Look under the slide and check the wire feeding into the slide. Measure voltage and/or check continuity between the breaker and the light. Check for short to ground. Look for pinched or damaged wires around the slide mechanisms.
I have a 2009 Fuzion 302 and I'm guessing the slide wiring is pretty close to the same.
