Help! Bad fuse = no tunes!

I have been trying to fix this problem for a month now. The circuit that the radio, interior light and horn keeps frying my fuse. I have disconnected everthing at least once to find the faulty part. The fuse still keeps blowing. I have increased it to a 30 from the stock 20, no luck. What else could it be? I'm getting tired driving with no tunes. Thanks!

Take out your cigarette lighter, it is also on the same circuit, and they do go bad. You can disconnect the wiring from the socket, and your problem should go away. If not, need to start tracing wires......

Have fun.

hey I have done this before, just take a wire from each side inside the fuse box and make it like a fuse. Something may short out, but it will work. just stick a wire up in there just like the 2 prongs on the fuse 1 wire on each side....lol...jk no dont that, but when I was selling my ta I did that for the lights to work so I could sell it.
