Fuse Help

[MikeROD16]

ok, so yesterday i noticed i had 2 blown fuses. a 15 and 20 amp. i replaced the 15 one like nothing, but then when i went to replace the 20 amp one, it had a constant big RED spark. i immediatly let go. i never fully plugged it in. and i look at the fuse and it blew, and the tips were literally melted.
i was in shock. i tried another one and same thing happened. any ideas???? im not too experienced with fuseboxes or interior wiring.


EDIT: the fuse is for oil light and passing beams. just some info in case of anything. Thanks guys.

You are grounding out somewhere. Unfortunately, you're going to have to trace all the wires in the circuit and find a bad spot of wiring.

I just said that with my damn airbag problem, lol.

Try to look for areas where wires have the chance to rub. Look around the lights themselves, etc.

You should check your bulbs themselves also. (Unplug 'em and try putting the fuse in.) Make sure they are'nt the problem. Then check the high beam switch before you go cutting your harnesses apart to find shorted wires. Also check and see if the power wires to your lights show any resistance to ground. (Using a multimeter, with the fuse out.) If you find one, thats most likely your culprate. Check for anything unusual by your oil sensor too.
