i need some input herefuses generally blow because:
1) bad ground/short
2) positive/negative criss-crossed
3) too much power going through them

check your radio connections if you have a after martket one could be shorting out or check your cig lighter and make sure nothing is in there shorting it out.

I did have aftermarket radio put in ; hmmm yes ! the cig lighter would cause it to blow , so I ripped it out all together ; two wires taped now
any way i'm doing a 90% rip out for the inside so every thing is coming out
