Easiest way is to remove the items from the loop and apply power.

In other words, disconnect the radio...does it still blow, then proceed

disconnect the cig. lighter, does it still blow, then proceed

disconnect the clock, and so on.....

ok I'm glad you fixed the problem, but i do want to mention one thing.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER do that again where you put the 40amp fuse in your fuse block. Do you know what kind of pain in the ass it would have been if you burned up some wires? You'd have to go replacing wires.

Just wanted to let you know.
