I took it back to the shop, where the next morning they installed a new fuse; and let it run all day. The fuse did not blow.
Would pulling and checking each injecter be the next logical step?
If a fuse blows, there is a high amperage draw on that circuit that needs to be corrected.
Most likely cause is a wire with chaffed insulation contacting a ground (short to ground) or an internally shorted injector.
