disconnect everything that is powered by that circuit. plug the fuse in and if it doesn't blow, then one by one reconnect each item until it blows. when it blows, that is the problem item.

if it blows and everything is unplugged. double check that everything is unplugged. if it still blows then you would have a short in the harness.

if you need a wiring diagram, let me know and i'll try to get you one tonight.
