Hello, Ill pull up the power distribution diagrams for you and if you have a 12v test light we can work through the circuits to find the short to ground, is the fuse labelled anything else besides Fuse 9 20amp?
And it looks like this fuse is hot all the time so it's most likely running through a relay that is turning on at key on/run position. So technically if you hook a test light to battery positive, the blown fuse should light up the test light at key on due to the short to ground. This is going to be the easiest way to find a short, if you can somehow rig the test light so it's making contact with the side of the fuse location that is shorted to ground, then you can start to unplug some components/relays and see very quick if the test light goes out. You are correct there are a lot of components on this circuit, it feeds many components just on the PCM side of things, so we'll need to isolate it to its main circuit first, I see Cruise control, AC, CANBUS area controller, Cooling System, Immobilizer, Auto Trans, MFI (PCM),
Pull the MFI Relay first and recheck the short.
