Good morning,

What fuse number is failing? so I can look for a diagram of what the fuse controls so you can search your failure.

Okay, I attached a diagram of all that fuse 16 controls. You need to unhook all the components that are controlled and then see if the fuse still blows. If It does, it is a wiring harness issue. If it does not then you need to plug one component back in, one at a time until the fuse fails. Then you know the failure.
