Fuses are there to protect certain other parts from being fryed.

Depending on what fuse keeps blowing, I'd say have a look for exposed, cracked, poorly earthed, crossed wires.

I'd be getting an auto sparky to take a look if it doesnt jump straight away, may save alot of trouble down the track.

Which fuse?

When does it blow? I mean when ignition is on, or when cranking?
