Help...Blown EFI Fuses...

So i was driving home today and shortly after filling the truck up with gas all of a sudden it just dies on me... after about an 30 minutes of screwing around with different things trying to get it to start i finally remember to check the fuses... there was a blown EFI fuse, no big deal, so i replaced it and started driving home. About an hour later im still on the road and all of a sudden i hear a click and the engine dies. Another blown fuse. So i put another one in and it blows when i turn the truck over. So on my 3rd fuse i manage to get home. Im pretty sure there is a short somewhere... anyone have ideas of likely places the short could be?

Thanks,
Andy

Common location of a short is the O2 sensor wires falling against the exhaust manifold.

Now i saw smoke coming out of the one of the wire clusters after blowing another fuse. So i to access the this cluster of wires i had to remove the air intake manifold. I have seperated nearly all of the wires and still havent found the culprit... however i can still smell melted wires. It just doesnt seem possible to find the short. If anyone has had similar problems, i could realy use some advice.
Thanks,
Andy
