Fuse keeps blowing

My fuse for my power locks, interior lights, power mirriors, and probably some other stuff keeps burning out.

What would cause this?

I unhooked my switch for my hatch release, cause it was screwing up and opening up while I was driving, would this have something to do with it?

I'm not sure but pull your "lighter" out and put it someplace, then put in a new fuse and see if that does the trick. My lighter was shorting out and everytime I hit the horn it would blow the fuse.

I don't have a lighter, and the actual thing (don't know what it's called) you put the lighter into, broke off and is floating inside my dash, been like that since I bought it.

Well you might want to fix that or disable it so that it can't come in contact with something and short out.
