I can't figure out why my 20A engine fuse keeps blowing. All

Whenever a fuse blows up is because there is a short or a resistance/voltage overload. So a wire or ground may be exposed and making contact with metal or other wires. What is that fuse used for? check around that item, look for exposed wires.

What does not work when the fuse is blown? Use that as a clue to what the problem is.
