  • Back up Lamp
  • Heating Water Valves
  • Water Pump
  • Climate Control System
  • Relay Aux Fan Terminal 86
  • Aut Transmission Electronics
  • Blower Motor inside temperature sensor
  • air conditioning compressor
  • electromagn. clutch/valve air injection
It could be the aux. pump, but, even when fully stalled, it shouldn't draw anywhere near enough to blow the fues.

The only other item on the list is the aspirator motor. This item is noted to seize after 20 years due to lack of lubrication. It's sitting above the passenger kick panel behind the dash. I wouldn't think it could draw more than the 8 amp fuse can handle, but, you never know.
