Accessory fuse blows...

The Accessories fuse blows. I know that there's a short.
But where do I look? All I know is that the wire is orange.
There are tons of other orange wires.
All the wires are in black plastic flexible coil thingy (makes it very hard to trace the one, of many, orange wire).

The following don't work, cigar lighter, map/courtesy light, and stereo (won't work on ACC postion).
Is this because the Accessory fuse is blown?

Pick up a chilton's manual for the car at a local parts place. It'll help you trace down the circuit and find out where it's grounding out. It's confusing at first, but it shows all the wire colors and where they route...

I think I have the Fuse Block for 1990-1992 model Camaro.

That's why I have a 20amp ACC (Accessory) fuse, whereas, 1985-1989 Camaro Fuse Blocks have a 20amp CTSY (Courtesy) fuse instead.

But the wiring should be somewhat similar. (I hope)

Am I right?
