Check the wiring at the bumper lights and at the corner lights. Make sure they aren't grounding out anywhere.

Thanks
i planed on re checking all of those but would those blow it only if i turn them on?
it only blows the fuse like 30 secs after i start the car then it blows not as soon as i put it in so i thought that would mean that it is not grounding out at all times cuz then it would pop when i put it in right?

have you added any electronics onto that circuit? if you have, you might try putting in a bigger fuse. if you have too much power running through the circuit, you'll blow the fuse up (duh ) so i'd try a bigger fuse and see what happens?

Well, I have added a turbo timer, safc, boost gauge and a/f gauge.
I have gone bigger it blows 30s and the last time I put in a 30 it was smoking
but it just blows ramdomly and it seems to blow when I get on it as well

i'd try using yet a even larger fuse... try a 40, if that doesnt work, try even bigger.

the more you add to the same circuit, the bigger the fuse you'll need or it'll overload...

dude i say re-check ur wires before going bigger than a 30 fuse. if u go bigger u can cause a bunch of wires to burn up then u will have a very serious problem. just re- check ur wires to make sure nothings grounding out then if ur confident enought to trow in a bigger fuse then do it

Okay any one know what all wires could do this and any easy way to find this

Christ, please don't put a bigger fuse in a circuit designed for only a certain amperage. It's a good way to melt things and cause a lot of damage. That is some stupid *** advice. If you are drawing too much power from the wire you are tapped into you need to find a different wire. Typically your best bet is use the accessory wire that comes directly off your ignition (don't forget to fuse it) or if that still doesn't offer enough power you can use a direct connection to the battery and a relay hooked up to acc power. If you can't figure it out yourself you might want to take it somewhere to someone how knows how to hook up electronics correctly. Wire fires are costly mistakes.

edit: The fuse is blowing for one of two reasons. If your electronics are tapped into the same circuit as the fuse you could be demanding way more than it was ever designed for and that will blow it. or Two it's grounding out. You didn't say that you added anything new so it appeares that everything was working fine before so you probably broke a wire. You can be 100% sure of this by testing continuity between that wire and ground with a voltmeter. If there's continuity with ground (with the lights switch on) then the wire is grounding out. At that point you have two options. Search the entire wire for the break, or just run a new wire. Good luck
