   Bet you it will be a shorting problem with your sterio. The thing to do here is disconnect all three systems and then one by one re-connect them. Obviously when you re-connect and the fuse blows thats where your problem will be.

   Well your pretty much there then. If the sterio is out and it is still blowing then it has to be the demister or the clock. It can't really be the speaker wire as the power only goes through the speaker via the sterio which you have said is disconnected.

    Process of elimination mate. Check every component on that circuit for faults. Once you find what it is, either repair or replace.
