CSTY LP Fuse Keeps Blowing Out. Please Help!

[xanarchistx]

Hey everyone. I am having problems with my CTSY LP fuse (10A) blowing out. When this happens, my reading lights, dome lights, 4x4 buttons, and keyless entry goes out. Now, I have tried to figure out what exactly the problem is, and so far this is what I have found:

At times, my keyless entry stops responding when I try to remotely unlock my doors, and the only way to get it to work again is to take out the fuse and pop it back in again. I check the fuse, but it is not blown. If I let the fuse sit in there, and NOT use my keyless entry, it blows out, and it leaves me clueless as to why it does this.

Now, do you think that because the keyless entry stops responding, it could blow the fuse out if I use the power locks to lock and unlock my car doors?

Oh, and I have a 2001 GMC Jimmy, 4.3L.

that's a 24/7 circuit, check the cigar lighter and any other power ports you may have for contamination or for a short first. go to the self serve car wash and vacumm the p*** out of them.

Alright, I will check that out, but could there also be another possible cause besides the cig lighter? Just want to cover my bases, that's all.

I found a sticky corroded penny in one of the Power Outlets once.
