2001 A6 2.7T Electrical short.

It sounds like you might be having issues with your alarm or one of the switches on the door, hood or trunk.  Find someone with a VAG-COM near you and scan the car.  It will tell you which door is tripping or any voltage related issues.

Fuse does not blow after being replaced.
Once fuse blows, interior lights go off,
Dash LCD indicator shows 3 doors open.
Not going over any bumps or doing anything out of the ordinary when
this happens.
Once car is parked and doors locked, within approx 5 min the
headlights start blinking as if the alarm went off, but with no noise.
If I replace the fuse, car is fine.
Car has 146,000 and no flood damage, to my knowledge.
Thanks
