Check to see exactly when the fuse blows.
When you step on the brakes? Then it's the brake light wire or something
in the boot that frayed that wire.
When the signals go left or right?
Wipers on?
Heater blower on?
Check each item with all the others off until you blow the fuse.
Most of the time, it's a wire in the trunk that got nicked and is now
shorting out.
If it blows with nothing on as soon as you turn on the key, it's a wire
from the either the tach or fuel gauge hitting something it shouldn't
under the dash.
