ACC fuse blowing - HELP

So as the title says my ACC fuse is blowing, and yeah I’ve checked the easy solutions like the cigarette lighter, radio, horn, and the power mirrors. I don’t know where else to check, but it’s to the point where it won’t even let me touch it with a new fuse before it blows the damn thing.
I have an 87 camaro LT with a 305 5.0L. I’m out of ideas, I’m out of carrots, I’m out of sticks. I love this car but I can never keep the damn thing consistent. It’s always one new problem after another. I found out the ECU is bad today. I don’t know anymore. If anyone has an idea on where else for me to look for the issue with the fuse please let me know.

Well, you need to get the wiring diagram that shows the circuit that runs off that fuse. Then you can try to eliminate possibilities, or trace the entire circuit looking for a pinched wire, or short to ground.

9 out of 10 times it’s the cigarette lighter. Did you disconnect the connector on the back of the cigarette lighter yet?

Buy yourself a couple of boxes of 20-amp fuses and start unplugging/plugging in stuff?
