I am not sure... but it is a bit odd because the lite eliment will usually fry before the fuse even begins to think about it

Sounds like a direct short. Check wiring. If you can't locate it, run a new wire.

How do I check and run the new wire? and what wires to look at? Do I just trace it? or any other ways to check the wire if it's malfunctioning!?

try removing all the light bulbs on that circut and then install them one by one until the fuse pops again. that will tell you which socket is shorting out then you can trace the bad wire.

what kinda blow, instant blow or after a while, instant blow is definatly a short in the wires, if it takes awhile, just up the fuse 5 amps, the metal in ur fuse, (even if its 5 amps higher) will still blow way before u melt anything or do damage.
