Suggestions on tracking

I resently replaced my 20 fuse for the accent lighting in the car, (floor lights, overhead, stereo, horn, cig. lighter) and now the 20 keeps blowing. It works for the day I drive it, I go back out to the car after an 8 hour shift, and the damn thing is blown. What I need is suggestions on what could be causeing this, I resently installed a new stereo, but the fuse blew before that as well. Should I just track every wire from each device/light not working or what?

Thanks

I had the same problem. My cigarette lighter was staying on. Try taking out you cigarette lighter.
