Oh yeah i haven't done any thing to the car since i put my airfoil in and that was a couple months ago.

You should never put a higher value fuse in place of a lower one.(Like I have my break lights right now). From my limited electrical knowledge most blown fuses are caused by a short to ground somwehere in the system. As for finding this, tracing the wires and looking for a bare wire is about the only was I know of fixing the problem. Hope this helps
