My 1998 plymouth breeze months back blew a fuse, #8, 20amp. I replaced it and the car has run fine until now. The fuse has blown out and after trying several fuses, I decided by advice given, to a to try a 25 amp. The engine started and I turned it off. Another fuse has blown, and I tried several fuses which have blown. On the advice of a person I tried a 25 amp fuse and the engine started, and I allowed it to run between 5-10 seconds it ran fine.I took out the 25 amp fuse and replaced it with another 20 amp fuse and tried to start the engine again and it blew out the 20 amp one. Back to square one. I will not replace it with another 25 amp fuse as possible damage could happen or further damage could be extend? What is the problem?

Smart move. Dont listen to that guy again as he may well have cost you an entire wire harness or worse.

You need a wiring diagram and isolate all the component and disconnect them one at a time to find which unit has the excessive draw to blow the fuse. Very time involved. You need a lot of patience and a good wire diagram to work with.
