Fuses blow because of excessive current draw. If it blows once, the problem should be found before replacing it. As you've found, the fuse will continue to blow. There's probably a chaffed wire somewhere that's touching something it shouldn't or rubbed through to the chassis and only pops the fuse when it touches.
