Have you done any electrical work or additions lately ?? A good device to use for locating a dead short is a small bulb in place of the removed fuse that is blowing as long as the short is present the bulb will light at full brightness, If the short is located and isolated the bulb will dim way down and you can install the fuse back in place and test.
