Does the fuse blow instantly, or just when you turn the lights on?
If you have a trailer light harness check to see if any wires are broken. Check the tail lights for broken wires too. All that stuff is on the same circuit. By any chance have you recently put in a new stereo? Cuz if you have a wire crossed there, that could be causing it also.

No new sterreo and it blows instantly with or with out lights on. No breaks in the tail light wiring or my trailer light cord. Also checked all the bulbs.

This is a link to the entire lighting system diagram:

That fuse was blowing in my truck too and it ended up being the illumination wire behind the dash.
Hope that link works for you.
