ACC fuse problems, weird popping sound

So I blew my ACC fuse and it took forever to find the cause: a dime had fell down in the cigarette lighter and it was blowing the fuse everytime I put a new one in. So I removed the dime and it magically fixed the blown fuses, but now a new problem has arrived: as soon as I put in a new fuse, a weird popping or clunking sound starts from under the hood, it's repetative and consistent like the tick of a watch only louder. It doesnt matter if the car is on or not, or even if the key is in the ignition. It wont stop until the fuse is removed. So I've just been running around with no ACC fuse in. Anyone have any clue as to what the heck is going on?? Ever heard of anything like this? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

Joe.
