If this is for a eg civic then most likely you pinched one of the interior wires in between the upper and lower console (the ashtry has a metal protector above it and LOTS of times it pinches a wire and grounds it out).
Just look at whatever you took apart last... thats most likely the problem.

Re: Fuse keeps blowing! please help (b17boost)
I had the same problem...
It wound up being the aftermarket radio adaptor harness' illumination wire grounding out. You know how they pre-cut the end of the wires so it's an easy connection? My radio didn't use the orange illumination wire so I left it unhooked. Just my luck it grounded.
It'd be worth it to check out if you've recently installed a radio. Otherwise check all the other current-carrying wires in and around the radio area. I'm betting it's around there.
