In my meager mind, I am what feels like electrical system hell. Fuse number 26 blows the minute ignition is turned on. Here is what I tried:

Disconnected each of the following with a new fuse installed each time:
Pulled seat relay (trunk)
Aftermarket stereo system
Aftermarket amp
Pulled window relay (trunk)
Swapped new/working relay for front convenience (30 amp fused)(under secondary cover under hood)
Swapped new/working relay for rear fuse box relay (30 amp fused) (next to fuse box in trunk 30 amp fused)
Pulled all window switches (one by one) cleaned with 99% alcohol
Pulled side view switches (one by one) cleaned with 99% alcohol

I have not pulled either the door/seat switches or the plug under the seat as I have not figured out how yet.

In each case the fuse blows immediately. It did not start out that way. I was able to replace the fuse at first and it would give me opportunity to put down windows or adjust seats. Now, each replacement fuse blows almost instantaneously after the ignition is turned on.

Please help. Thank you. Michael
