You have a short.... other than that I can't help you...

somewhere on that circut there is a chip or crack in the wire (that or one of the motors/parts is bad.) and it's drawing too much current...

I'll prefice my next bit of advice with DO NOT DO THIS

If you want to find out where it is you can "penny" the fuse... ie you put in a higher amperage fuse... then you look for smoke... it's DEFINATELY not the smartest thing to do but it will show you where the problem is...

just in case you don't realize what this is doing....

This is allowing WAY more current to flow through that circut... it is then allowing that current to arc to wherever it is arcing... that area gets hot and starts to burn... that's where the smoke comes from...

Your other WAY more intelligent option is to examine the pieces affected and if nothing is found.... trace the wires on that circut looking for the short...
