What did you change? Something is wired wrong for the current to be constant like that.

i didnt change anything (electrical wise) .. the only thing i did was remove my bumper so that i could sand a part down that i bondo'd... but i also adjusted my headlights so that my HIDs wouldnt point straight up and all i have to do was turn a lil' knob. .. i dunno whats up... i thought it was because i had my door open while i changed the fuse so i did it again only with my door closed but it still blew.... thanks for u help.

you have fog lights? or the jdm headlights, maybe one of the ground wires came loose? I'm not even sure if these would cause a short for the interior fuse but thats all I can think of. When I blew my interior fuse installing my headunit I noticed that one of my tail lights went out too....

aftermarket fog lights? aftermarket radio? HIDs? Sounds like you have some changed electrical parts to me. My first guess would be the HIDs, since they may or may not be running the same power. Any of those can havea short or bad connection, and until you fix it, the fuse will keep blowing because it's being overloaded with too many amps. That's what the fuse does, it is designed to blow at a lower amperage than the electronics it's connected to, so if you get too many amps, they won't damage your expensive electronics.

Deff wireing whatever you changed fix it most likely something on the neg side of the fuse is getting grounded before it reaches the resistor (light or whatever) or something inside the component is grounding it.
