experenced this with their truck? I can replace fuse and everything works fine
until I switch engine off and restart, #5 mini fuse (15 amp) blows and  I am back
to square one. Changing the G.E.M. did not help. Thank you for your help

Pull the fuse before you start it, if it starts and runs, put in the fuse. If it doesn't blow, your good to go. I realize that isn't the proper fix. Note the diagram. That K goes to drl. If it is wiring circuit and not component, it's like hunting a needle in a hay stack. If you can find splice 222 and disconnect there, it might tell you something? I have location for connectors but not splices. good luck
